The beauty of the space alone makes this museum worth a visit, but the cherry on top (for me!) is that they have some of the Fayum mummy portraits. The Winter Garden is so lush and gorgeous, and they’ve got lots of Impressionists if that’s the type of thing you’re into. I was particularly fond of the wall of recreation noses and ears that had originally been created to repair ancient statues. Could take a whole day to explore—I left to get a hotdog outside the train station and then went back later.
