Post a CommentI went there once, when I was around 10, and still remember the mummified cats to this day. That was the strangest thing I've ever seen in my life. I think your daughter would love this museum. :)
Too bad we aren't in California. My daughter would love the Egyptian Festival! We'll have to see if we can get in a visit to that museum sometime! She is so into anything Egyptian.
