CINCINNATI – The holidays are just around the corner and you still haven’t finished up your shopping? We’ve all been there. But don’t worry, we have you covered. You can find something for everyone on your list all in one place: Cincinnati Museum Center.
For the archaeologist on your list, tickets to the exhibition Mummies of the World are the perfect gift for them to “unwrap.” From Egypt to South America to the Arctic and beyond, Mummies of the World takes you around the world and across the centuries as you explore the science behind the mummification process and the stories the mummies still have to tell. Using modern scientific and medical technology, researchers are working to learn as much about how the mummies lived as how they died. Many mysteries have been solved but these mummies still have so much to teach us. This fascinating exhibition is the perfect gift for the archaeologist and explorer looking to take a trip around the globe as they unlock the secrets these mummies still hold.
You can also send the world traveler on your list on a journey around the world and beyond with an OMNIMAX® Club Card. From the depths of the seas to the outer reaches of space and everywhere in between, the Robert D. Lindner Family OMNIMAX® Theater at Cincinnati Museum Center will take you there. Your world traveler can use their Club Card right away to visit Jerusalem, an enlightening look inside the ancient city sacred to billions of Jews, Muslims and Christians. Soar above the city and step inside the city’s holiest sites as you learn about the history of Jerusalem and its people. Or take a breathtaking ride on the Rocky Mountain Express as you steam across rushing river gorges, along the cliffs of mountains and through the beautiful wilderness of western Canada. And, for the explorer who has just visited Mummies of the World, unlock the secrets of ancient Egyptian mummies on the five story domed OMNIMAX® screen in Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs. For just $25 per adult and $20 per child, the OMNIMAX® Club Card allows you to take unlimited journeys in the OMNIMAX® Theater for twelve months.
If your list is a little longer you can find something for the young scientists, historians and inventors in one of our four gift shops at Cincinnati Museum Center. Experiment kits will help sharpen science, technology, engineering and math skills as kids turn their bedrooms into their own science labs. Our extensive selection of books will satisfy any amateur or experienced historian, including Cincinnati: The Queen City, 225th Anniversary Edition. From Thomas the Tank Engine to model trains to puzzles, trains in all shapes, sizes and forms are sure to delight enthusiasts of all ages. The gift shops at Cincinnati Museum Center are also your go-to destination for framed art and prints of Cincinnati landmarks like Union Terminal, Music Hall and the Roebling Bridge, as well as Charley Harper gifts and collectibles.
