Reviews
"A free museum takes donations. It is a smaller museum however they have exquisite things you won't see in too many other museums around the world. No tickets needed. A very small gift shop you can buy souvenirs from. Has a clean bathroom. And is located on a college campus. Parking can be difficult depending on what day and time you choose to go. If you're a lover of history be prepared to be there for a minimum of 2hrs."
"This is a very informative and well designed museum, and it’s free! The building is gorgeous and they have exhibits about Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia… If you’re in the area it’s worth the visit."
"I’m a huge ancient Egyptian fan and have studied it my entire life and I was amazed it had actual human mummies, canopic jars and what’s left of real human organs. Truly fascinating. I’d love to go back one day."
"Fantastic museum! It’s a bit off the beaten path, but it’s great! Tons of artifacts or reproductions. This is a gem for those who are interested in the ancient world. It’s free but they do suggest a ticket donation. This is easily one of my favorite museums. Would love to go back some day."
"Wonderful gem of a museum. Not one but you hear about often when we think of Chicago museums but it’s an absolute must, especially if you love all things ancient civilization! Specifically, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Persia, it has an impressive collection of artifacts. Also, it’s free (donations recommended)."
