Overview

Towering Native American totem poles and huge Maya sculptures are just some of the exhibits at this unique museum. You'll browse precious artifacts of the ancient world and explore human cultural history. See archaeology of colonial Harvard Yard and an original Day of the Dead altar which represents Aztec and Catholic origins of the celebration.

All the World Is Here features the famous Feejee Mermaid, the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, and the birth of American anthropology.

More impressive in person than the photos. Photo spots were thoughtfully spaced along the route, — glad we prioritized it.

Helpful crew and clear instructions. Transitions between rooms or stops felt purposeful, and we felt we got our money’s worth. (Weekday visit lined up neatly with transit.)

The pace worked well with kids. Transitions between rooms or stops felt purposeful, nothing felt confusing at the entrance.

Audio quality was sharper than usual for this kind of ticket. Seating/rest spots helped older travelers in our group, we left with clearer context on the venue’s history.

Great value versus buying tickets separately. Photo spots were thoughtfully spaced along the route, matching what friends told us—but better in person.
