Tips from locals
Tour the beautiful Gothic + modern architecture at the University of Chicago campus and stop in at the Oriental Institute Museum. It's full of the most amazing artifacts of the most ancient civilizations known to humans. They have real, fully preserved mummies!
So fun! Free! Kid friendly! (Be sure to poke your head in to the library on the 2nd floor.)
Th is is a great little museum on the University of Chicago Campus. It is a beautiful place to walk around the neighborhood afterward. This place has a great Egyptian exhibit.
The Oriental Institute Museum is a world-renowned showcase for the history, art, and archaeology of the ancient Near East. The museum displays objects recovered by Oriental Institute excavations in permanent galleries devoted to ancient Egypt, Nubia, Persia, Mesopotamia, Syria, Anatolia, and the ancient site of Megiddo, as well as rotating special exhibits.
