Mostly plaster casts but the archeologist diaries are a real kick, and an interesting spout on the water pitcher on the second floor. Probably not good food kids but free!

Its a museum inside Harvard campus. Not a very big museum, but is good if you want to know more about semitic history etc. Three floors, each has its own focus.

Great place, very interesting Egyptian and Mesopotamian collections, plus augmented reality

Small place with rich history. Free entry for everyone. Great location to visit.

Current exhibit features casts of royal monuments from Mesopotamia. Very informative. Free.

Definitely worth the trip! This Harvard museum offers free admission and a multilevel look back in time at the Middle East. Exhibits focus on Israel, Egypt and Mesopotamia. The museum is a short walk away from the MBTA Red Line stop at Harvard Square and is near several bus routes. There are elevators for those who don’t like stairs. The bottom floor has a cutaway exhibit of a house from Ancient Israel

I think the highlight of this small museum is the recreation of a very early, two story Israeli home made of mud bricks. The surrounding displays place the home in the context of time period. One floor seems to have many displays that gloat over the amount of middle eastern artifacts that the department discovered with a team from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. There are also a lot of casting reproductions of middle eastern sculptures. No charge (unusual for Harvard) and worth an hour or so.

A fascinating and free museum in a nice building with interesting exhibits yet few people. I easily could have spent more time there, but at least the time I had there was very well worth it.

For a small museum it packs a lot of great content in an easy to consume layout. My son and I really enjoyed the housing recreation model to get a sense of what it was like during that age. My son is currently studying ancient civilization and we will be returning to learn even more.

I love this place. This is my favorite place is the world cause my girlfriend is Jewish.

Really not much there, its not worth going out of your way for it. The Museum of Fine Art is spectacular, this was small. Skip it

Must see if you are in Boston.

Interesting displays showing why duplication of artifacts is necessary & how they are done.

A well laid out museum of semitic antiquities and reproductions.

Small but nice collection of Egyptian, Mesopotamia and ancient Israel . Diagonally opp the Peabody museum of archaeology. Entry is free.

Nice small museum. The Assyrian reliefs on the third floor are really cool.

An interesting look at ancient history

Is small but with good exhibitions

Small focused museum. Good thing its free since its pretty small but its informative. Just dont expect anything crazy. I guess the 3 mummy coffins are pretty cool though

This is one of Harvard Universitys lesser known museums as it is rather small and highly specialized. There are certainly some good pieces and exhibits on display, but some of the presentation seems a little dated and even kitsch. Kid friendly,. Free admission. Parking is always challenging in Harvard Square, but this is a relatively short walk from the MBTA red line Harvard subway station.

Really cool exhibits.

Helpful student at the front desk. Great gallery. Very quiet. Cant ask more from a museum.

Had a great time!

3 floors, mostly Egyptian art.

Very tiny museum they have only one room per floor. Admission is free. Exhibits are very interesting.

Very informative

Small but informative. Too much about the exhibiters and not enough about the exhibits.

A fascinating look into the past, with exhibits for adults and children alike. Definitely worth trying to navigate around campus to find.

Should not be missed by who digs this subject matter

Very interesting museum and its free

Great little collection. Love it.

What a jewel in the rough. You can see how the ancient semites lived and their storied history.

Beautiful artifacts, fascinating descriptions, and intuitive layout

Small but very nice place

Quite lacking in content but its free.

Great experience, learned a lot

Cool

Beautiful exhibits

Nothing much to see, really

Great museum

Lots to uncover, go slow
