"Part of the University of Chicago , this treasure vault of Near Eastern artifacts brings professor Indiana Jones to mind. A small teaching museum, the Oriental Institute boasts a rich-for-its-size collection of Egyptian artifacts. On display are mummies, carved tablets, statues of Tutankhamun and of human-headed bulls. It's like a trip to the ancient world in the middle of a Gothic campus." - Elaine Glusac
