This was absolutely fabulous! I enjoyed my time at this little museum very much. We had just read some books about Egypt and wanted to really find some great ways to show my kids real artifacts and the Oriental Institute was perfect.
Lots of street parking which made it difficult for me to park as we went in the winter. Did find a very small pay lot to the side of the building - it was confusing as I wasn't sure if it was for staff/students only.
