Title
Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum & Planetarium
Description
The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum possesses the only Egyptian collection housed in a building of the style of ancient Egyptian architecture. It is situated in lovely Rosicrucian Park, an outdoor botanical garden and art display, featuring such art objects as this Egyptian Revival sphinx, which dates from the 1930's.
The Egyptian Museum at Rosicrucian Park has been a fixture of San José life for so long that it is difficult to conceive of a time without it. Hundreds of thousands of residents and visitors to Northern California have experienced "history coming alive" through the exhibits, tours, lectures and other activities at the Museum. How did this landmark come to be here in the Valley first known for citrus and prunes, and now famous for silicon chips?
From the beginning of the work of the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC in the 20th century, Egypt loomed large. From 1915 to 1927, at the Order's early headquarters in New York City, San Francisco and Tampa Dr. Lewis, the first Imperator of AMORC began to collect artifacts from "the Orient," through the generosity of members.
