While walking around one evening in Palm Springs, I came across this art gallery that was colorful, fun, and simple exquisite - every single piece! Can’t wait to return again in the Spring, to see what’s new!
8. Museum of Ancient Wonders
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 15 reviews
From treasures of the pharaoh to the mystical ritual of African masks to Mesozoic dinosaur skeletons, the Museum of Ancient Wonders awes visitors. More than 200 reproduction artifacts and laboratory fossil casts gathered from 30 museums worldwide.
Reviewed By JustKeepItMoving - Los Angeles, United States
A small but ambitious museum filled with impressive recreations of historical artifacts, each with a detailed description. Most items currently on display are Egyptian, with some African and dinosaur items also included in their own sections. Because they are modern recreations, almost nothing is behind glass. This allows a visitor to closely inspect the works (no touching though, of course). The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable. They explained that they have many more items in storage and hope to expand. I’m happy to contribute to help them meet their goals. I felt it was clear they had a passion for the museum and the work they put into it. The museum is not very large in its current location, and one can get through the whole thing in an hour or two. Still, I think it’s worth the price of admission for anyone with an interest in history, especially Egyptian history.
