The tour of a replica Egyptian burial tomb was the best part. Very old aesthetic, inside the museum. A good amount of the museum is about death, coffins, and mummies. The lighting inside is very dim. The outside garden could be kept better. There are some nice Egyptian fixtures out there. Parking is free with a lot behind the building.

Very interesting museum. If you can’t go to Egypt anytime soon and really need to feed your curiosity about ancient Egyptians, this place will definitely help. They covered a lot, very well planned place. Amazing collections. Easily can spend a day. Outdoor gardens are amazing. It wasn’t that crowded at all. Ticket prices are fair and totally worth it.

It's great to have this open again. There's a lot to see here, not worth coming in a rush, take your time to read and see the details, they're well prepared. Con: since the pandemic the external gardens and fish ponds seem in a bit of an abandoned state, hopefully they can get back to it's previous glory soon.

Highlight for me when visiting this museum? The Egyptian tomb beneath it. The audio gave a detailed explanation of what I saw on the walls. This museum has plenty of beautiful relics, models of archaeological sites, sarcophagus, and even an outdoor garden to enjoy. You won't regret visiting this museum of you are into Egyptian history.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

It does have an interactive activity (stamps for a fun 'passport' and finding hidden clues) for kids to participate in! Aside from that there is a fake tomb and garden outside. Everything else is just exhibits of artifacts.

It depends on how much you want to see stuff, it took me 6 hours and they closed, I didn't finish it, i saw like 65% but that is because I was watching the layers of fabric and the marks of the chiseling, and i was reading everything... But, if its something you are going to stop some seconds and move on, I'd say like 2 hours

The tomb tour is for anyone in the museum. The schedule of tours is posted and you just line up at the tomb before the start of the tour you want. If it's busy, it's first come first serve. You don't have have to be in a group tour to go. I'm not sure about Spanish tours, though.
