Actually, we saw the Ramses exhibit along with the rest of the museum and we were pleasantly surprised by both. The exhibit was great. We have seen quite a few Egyptian exhibits plus the regular collections at many museums, including the one at the University of Pennsylvania, a personal favorite for sentimental reasons. I went there. Some bias showing. Although the dedicated Turin museum in Italy is hands-down the best I have seen by a long shot. I had read reviews and heard its praises, but the real kicker is the absolute passion of Italians who have seen it, particularly citizens of the city. There is mind boggling pride that they have what is regarded as the second best Egyptian museum in the world after the one in Cairo. In fact, if I could remember half of what I have seen and read in the museums, let alone Imax movies, TV shows, articles, etc. I could be an amateur Egyptian historian. Alas, I cannot remember 1/50th. What I can say is that like the Romans, the more you learn about this remarkable civilization, the more impressed you are. Considering they pre-date the Romans by almost two millenia and lasted even longer than the Romans ( although if you include the Byzantine empire, not by much), you have to say that they are the most impressive civilization in the history of man ( the Chinese may contest that ). Getting back to the exhibit, they had some really great pieces and it was interestingly assembled and presented. We spent a lot more time than I ever anticipated we would. Indeed, I liked it so much, I took a quick run through to see it getting back to the start and coming back to the end, where my wife patiently waited. Heck, she needed the rest, anyway. For me, I thought the rest of the museum was a throwaway. I did not think they would have much of a collection and would never have considered seeing it without the Ramses exhibit. This is perhaps our fifth visit to SF and I never gave it a second thought before, including this time until I saw an ad or something about the exhibit and I said to my wife, “Let’s go.” Good thing. The museum itself is great. The collections are of a high caliber and interesting. Again, we spent far more time on that than I ever imagined and I could have spent more. A special shout-out to the restaurant has to be made. This is a particularly good example of the genre. Light and airy, with pleasant views of the outside almost park-like setting and the food was very, very good. My wife and I had very good beef short ribs with vegetables and two excellent desserts and drinks. I didn’t even mind the exorbitant $85 tab. Our taxi cab driver coming home said that for SF that was a tremendous bargain. Speaking of taxis, the ride from our hotel, the very good Hotel Zoe Fishermans Wharf, was like $35 with tip. Between the two taxi rides, tickets to the museum, lunch and various stuff purchased in the gift shop, it was a very expensive museum outing, probably the most expensive we have had. If you add on the jaunt through the Japanese garden with the obligatory magnet purchase and the ride on the ferris wheel and the even more obligatory $8 dipped cone purchase from a truck parked nearby, it was one of the more expensive days in our extensive travels. And even though I am frugal by nature, I didn’t mind. It was one of the most satisfying and fullest days of the trip. Perhaps the best. In conclusion, go to the de Young Museum and go now before the Ramses exhibit closes. It would be a shame to miss it. Before I go, one last shout-out to the modern, good looking, clean and large bathrooms. What a delight. I am an aficionado of bathrooms, weirdly enough, and appreciate a good one. And this was a very good one. And when you got to go, this is a good one to go to.

We bought tickets for Ramses the Great special exhibit; a very informative history spanning pre and post Ramses rule in ancient Egypt. The GA ticket is included in the price; but for GA access only, there are numerous rooms to visit with varieties of paintings, sculptures and artifacts from multiple historical periods and locations.

We enjoy all exhibits especially Ramesse as it reminded us being back in the Valley of the Kings. I would recommend this exhibit to others to see for themselves
