MUSEUMS

[photo, William Paca Garden, 186 Prince George St., Annapolis, Maryland] Maryland's long, rich past is accessible through the State's many museums. Some specialize in art, history, and culture or focus on the Chesapeake Bay, a dominant feature of Maryland life and landscape. Others highlight industry, technology, or science. Local historical societies also sometimes house museums.
