      A great museum with amazing friendly docents. They have a beautiful outside area to enjoy as well, a perfect place to enjoy a picnic.

      General Info
      The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum began with one small artifact, a Sekhmet (lion goddess) statue, which stood on the desk of H. Spencer Lewis, the founder of the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC. In the 1920s AMORC supported the excavations of the Egypt Exploration Society in Tell el-Amarna (Akhetaten), the city of the Pharaoh Akhnaton. In 1927 H. Spencer Lewis conceived public collection. In 1929 AMORC sponsored an initiatic journey through Egypt led by H. Spencer Lewis. By 1932 the collection had outgrown its second-floor home an additional building was constructed - The Rosicrucian Egyptian Oriental Museum, In 1965 Ralph Lewis personally led the research team that explored many tombs and temples in Egypt, Museum Building was modeled in November 1966 new Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum opened. The Museum highly values collaborative research and in recent years has worked on projects with: Stanford University Hospital, UCLA, NASA Ames Biocomputation Center, the British Museum, National Geographic’s Mummy Road Show, and others.
