Why is this museum not more well known? It's fantastic!
The Egyptian collection is one of the best I've ever seen. The ancient Greek collection was very nice as well.

The Extras

Drop into the outstanding bookshop; it carries a good selection of art, art history, children's books and gift items.

Parking

If you park at the Peavine deck, walk past the tennis courts and go right. Once you pass the circle, make another right and walk up the steps onto the quad. During the week, take Shuttle "D" from the deck; it runs every 10 minutes.
