Monthly Gathering - Lost Egypt, 2 p.m.
November 7, 2009
“Where’s my mummy?” you ask.
Well, there are lots of them at the Cincinnati Museum Center
as the “Lost Egypt” exhibit visits (through January 3)
and we’ll take advantage of this opportunity to see it.
We’ll meet inside the right-most (northernmost) door,
buy tickets and see the Omnimax movie (~45 minutes) and tour the exhibit (~1 hour).
Since the pass includes all exhibits at the Museum Center,
those who would like to may then tour the permanent exhibits in the resident museums.
The pass for the movie and the museums costs $15.50 for adults;
seniors get $1 off, children 3-12 get $4 off, and those under age 3 get $7.50 off.
Let know ahead of time that you’re coming, and we’ll look for you.
Otherwise, look for a Mencinnatian to find the group.
