The members of BTS recently brought their Arirang World Tour to Baltimore for two nights at M&T Bank Stadium. Beyond the performances, the group took time to explore local cultural institutions while in the city.
RM, the group leader, spent time at the Baltimore Museum of Art on the Sunday before the concerts began. Staff at the museum confirmed the visit, noting that he toured with a small group and kept a low profile. Visitors who encountered him were respectful of his privacy.
This visit aligns with his known interest in art, as he recently announced a collaboration with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to display pieces from his private collection. Museum staff encouraged fans to visit the contemporary art wing to view similar works.
While the group kept most of their local activities private, J-Hope noted during Monday's show that he enjoyed a meal in Baltimore and expressed a desire to return to the city. The band's presence provided a boost to local venues and interest in the city's arts scene.
