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.
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.
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.
A well laid out museum of semitic antiquities and reproductions.
Really not much there, it's not worth going out of your way for it. The Museum of Fine Art is spectacular, this was small. Skip it
