Tucked away on campus this is not the easiest of places to find but worth seeking out if you have an interest in Egyptology. Lots of hands on activities with very helpful and keen staff which children loved. An interesting little shop too. Free but...More

Fascinating views into life and death Egyptian style.

The house of the dead and the house of life, both as interesting as each other, hundreds of genuine artifacts, and always staffed by knowledgeable, enthusiastic students from the university who are willing to answer any questions.
