    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.

    It's 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.
