Wonderful Museum. Joe led small group.

Mark_S, Sep 2025

Wonderful museum with Rosetta Stone and Parthenon marble tiles among some 800,000 artists. Joe led the group marvelously through thousands of visitors and gave us key details and great insight into the history of the most important Ancient Greek and Ancient Egyptian artifacts.
