One of the "Most" interesting museums is the Rosicrusian Museum of Egyptology
in San Jose, California. Might sound wierd (my husband was a little concerned
when we drove up) but it's wonderful - both for the scholar and the lay person.
It has quite a large collection (I can't say if it's the largest in the US)
and it is certainly an outstanding setting with the museum and administration
offices looking like Egyptian temples. Well worth the visit!
