The Children's Discovery Center(CDC) exhibit, Discover Egypt, gives visitors an opportunity for interactive, sensory learning about ancient Egyptian civilization, and about the role of anthropologists and archaeologists in research and interpretation of the culture.

Experience the aspects of royal and ordinary Egyptian lives in the 18th Dynasty. Barter in an Egyptian market, "navigate" a small boat on the Nile, and dress up in costumes of royalty or faithful subjects.

Journey to a replica of a present-day archaeological field camp in Egypt. See and hear how scientists study, excavate, date, and conserve artifacts. Explore a stratified wall for ancient Egyptian artifacts, learn about the different types of pyramids while building one from wooden blocks, and discover all the different careers related to Anthropology through an interactive game.
