BSM is only open Saturday and Sunday.   Sorry about that.   If you  
have an opportunity on the weekend, it's on Falls Road north of North  
Avenue.   Because of construction, it can only be reached from the  
south end.   Go north on Charles Street to the Pennsy Station, then  
turn left at next corner after the I81 ramps.

B&O Museum is on Pratt Street about 1/2 mile to the west of Inner  
Harbor.
