So cool!

Architecturally inspired by the Temple of Amon at Karnak, it houses the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts on exhibit in western North America, including objects from pre dynastic times through Egypt's early Islamic era.

    So cool!
    I’m so glad we decided to visit. The museum only costs $9 each for adults, and that is really such a low price considering it took about 2.5 hours to get through, and we did two extra workshops/tours. Everyone working here is friendly and the tour guide, Robert, was so intelligent and enthusiastic. It was family friendly but there are mummified bodies so kids may get a little freaked out. You could easily just avoid those galleries though. I highly recommend checking this place out!

    Unique collection, welcoming vibes.
    Tons of artifacts, and an interesting outdoor area to walk through. The tomb replica was novel and immersive; the tour through it brought up a lot of information that could only be effectively conveyed by being present in a place like that. Since admission is so inexpensive, there's no pressure to rush through the exhibits--it's so easy to come back and intake the information leisurely. The staff and guides are super friendly, and people of all ages are always traversing the galleries.
