Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum

The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, architecturally inspired by the Temple of Amon at Karnak, houses the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts on exhibit in the western United States -- including objects from pre-dynastic times through Egypt's early Christian era.

Visitors can explore Ancient Egypt's fascinating view of the afterlife through the extensive collection of human and animal mummies, canopic jars, ushabtis, and detailed funerary boats and models. They can discover colorful and precious jewelry, predynastic pottery, glass and alabaster vessels, bronze tools, sculpture, and Coptic textiles.

The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum is located in the gardens of beautiful Rosicrucian Park, amidst buildings inspired by ancient Egyptian temples. Papyrus-lined paths lead visitors past walls carved with hieroglyphs, clustered lotus columns, elaborate fountains, and colossal statues of Egyptian gods.
