kelsey museum of archaeology印象

If you have time, check out this small museum on the University of Michigan campus. I saw a wonderful photography exhibition contrasting the ruins of Petra Jordan to the decay of downtown Detroit.

The roman display was well explained. This museum belongs to the university so it gives a scholastic explanation- If you see the same things in Italy, there is hardly any explanation

Other reviews have noted the museum's own lovely architecture, excellent collection, and thoughtful exhibitions, all of which we heartily agree with! This is truly a small wonder. What we've come to appreciate most however is the museum's inspired and informative curator tours, docent tours, exhibition openings, and graduate student talks about ongoing excavation field work. The Kelsey opens views of the meaning and context of the collection in a delightful way. If you can plan your visit, check the website first to see when a tour, lecture, or exhibit reception is being held, and go then----all free and welcoming. Please note the papyri collection is actually mostly housed in the UM Library and is not available to the public, due to its fragile nature. There's plenty else to enjoy here!

Since the expansion, the layout of the exhibits are very informative! If you are on campus, I highly recommend a visit.

A pleasant experience, the museum is not large, but features many artifacts and artworks from the ancient and medieval world in the Mediterranean and Near East.The collection includes colorfully-painted ancient Egyptian mummy, Greeks (pottery), ancient Roman sculpture, Etruscans, Persia,...

Recently enjoyed a one hour visit to the Kelsey. Arranged to have a guide from the museum take me and my family on a tour of the very interesting collection of ancient artifacts.

Located around the U of M campus area. Parking was about 1/4 away in parking ramp. No charge for museum. They claimed to have over 25,000 Egyptian artifacts but only about 5% on display. Displays were nice but a little disappointing if you are an Egypt fan. They have a very small gift shop run by students. Kind of small but worth seeing if you happened to be in the area.

We have enjoyed many visits to the Museum of Archaeology. Various areas are enjoyable for children of different ages. Interesting collections of stuffed animals and prehistoric skeletons. The collection is showing its age in many regards, but limits in funding mean that upgrades are unlikely in the near future. Still worth a visit.

Plan to spend some time here. There is a ton to see and lots of artifacts to learn about. Great way to spend an afternoon.

Really informative, small selection, but they make use of a small area. I was really excited to see everything, and even the building it is housed in is beautiful.
