Among the many rooms filled with stuffed animals is a surprising display – the King Tut exhibit formerly housed at the Luxor casino. The Luxor redecorated their casino in 2008 and donated the 500 piece Tut collection to the museum. The pieces aren’t authentic but they are as close as possible, handcrafted in Egypt using tools and methods of the period.
The museum is accessible with a few exceptions. Some of the description signs are too high, the baby shark tank is hard to view, and the mummy display has a movable viewer that is too high.
Most of the parking spaces are roofed over for shade which makes them unusable for any size of RV. We parked in the Cashman Center lot on Washington Ave. The sidewalks are in good shape but it’s a pretty good push uphill to the museum. There’s a pull through driveway for drop off at the door to avoid the trip up the hill. Natural History Museum
