Provided by YP.comIf you are interested in archaeology, this is a great place to visit. Some of the displays are a bit outdated, and it can get hot in there during the summer, though.

Provided by YP.comThis building can get very hot during the summer, and very cold during the winter. Choose your time you visit carefully. Some of the exhibits are good, some are a bit dated. The Egyptian section is the best.

Provided by YP.comOn the campus of University of Pennsylvania, this museum is off the beaten path. If you are interested in ancient Egypt and other cultures, it is a must see.
