THIS IS THE BAST I WANT TO LIVE HERE! i was in a place and got lost but some guy helped me and i kissed him!
There was a lot to look at, interesting stuff. I had no idea that it would be so interesting or contain so much. I'll probably go back. Normally, I'd think you'd have to go up to SF for something like this, so it is nice to have this down south.
It was a bit expensive, but the displays were interesting and unique. They don't have a lot of mummies, though, if your kids are expecting them. (Ours were.) Would definitely go again. Don't bother staying for the planetarium show, though. We stayed extra for it, and found it a waste of time. The kids fell asleep, and we almost did, too. Unless your interested in the Rosicrucian Order, it's not worth your time.
I am Egyptian, i felt like home, it looks likethe temple of Karnak, they even have real mummies and temple like structures. Whoever did this I must thank him. It have some or the Pharonict mysteries that you would love to explore yourself. Do not miss out this one
small museum and nothing really interesting to look at. boring!
Wish there was more information about how the period in history they focus on fits in with the enormous Egyptian history. Still, wonderful exhibits!
great museum wonderful collection an inexpensive way to spend a quiet afternoon the grounds are interesting as well
The artifacts were interesting, and the display text was instructive, but it was difficult to get an overview of the culture and history; everything was broken into chunks that were not linked into an overall narrative. The guided tour through a "typical" tomb (created by the museum after a intensive photo study of 40 actual tombs) was educational for adults and entertaining for young teens.
It was beautiful and interesting. I loved learing about ancient egypt. My younger siblings had a great time, too, and we range in age from 7 years to 17. The tomb was the best part.
I think it should be clearly stated in their ads that the Museum is absolutely not wheelchairaccessible or even frail elderly friendly. There are lots of steps and no elevators. Even thegrounds are bumpy and narrow. I have spoken to the personnel there and they are definitely not planning on changing. After a recent renovation they still did nothing. I, personally, amnot handicapped but I don't care to frequent places that exclude whole segments of ourcommunity.
