Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum - esoteric exhibits and replica tomb

The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose houses one of the largest collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts on exhibit in western North America and includes a life-size replica of an Egyptian tomb. Founded by the Rosicrucian Order (AMORC), the museum combines artifact displays, an Egyptian-style garden, and a planetarium, making it an offbeat cultural site often described as a hidden cultural treasure in the city. The museum's architecture and collections reflect the organization's historical interest in Egyptian mysticism and symbolism.
