Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures Museum

This is a museum offering multifaceted exhibitions. If you have kids or are looking for a quick glimpse of the spectacular American discovery that starts in the Middle East, it is worth coming. For those who want to spend some time learning about the human shift from hunting culture to urban, farming, worship, monarchy, writing, and all forms of social status quo, then you will spend precious time here.

My family loves museums. We're looking for museums that focus on ancient Egypt. It's a great museum. You don't feel rushed or crowded here. It's a good place.

A relatively deserted museum, but there are still a lot of exhibits.

It's awesome that the University of Chicago has its very own museum on campus! I've been there for classes and just for fun and it's always worth the short walk.

Head of a man - winged body of a bull. Wonderful and amazing treasures of egypt and mesopotamia. Pictured artifact is HUGE. Docents are FASCINATING.
