★★★★★11 months agoIt was a great experience! The amount of displays was impressive and well put together. One of the highlights was the scanned scroll you could digitally explore—it was fascinating to see the details and learn about the various spells used. A very engaging and well-curated exhibit.
Cassandra Wyllie
★★★★★4 months agoA great collection of statutes, pottery, writings, artifacts, and information of Egyptian artwork. I also really liked the room where you can see what kinds of stones that people used in ancient Egypt. I recommend visiting on a Sunday so you can take advantage of the €1 admissions and go to several museums.
