Museum of World Treasures

The Museum of World Treasures is a history museum in Old Town Wichita housed in a converted warehouse with three floors. A spiral staircase and glass elevator connect the levels, where collections range from Egyptian mummies to dinosaur fossils.

The museum was founded in 2001 as the Museum of Ancient Treasures and relocated to its current location in 2003. The move brought an expansion of the collection to include military artifacts, presidential signatures, and other historical items.

The museum displays objects from many cultures and periods, from Egyptian mummies to Roman coins, showing how people lived in ancient times. These items tell the story of civilizations that continue to fascinate visitors today.

The building is easily accessible and the glass elevator allows people with mobility challenges to reach all floors. The museum hosts regular events such as curator coffee mornings and special programs to enhance the learning experience.

Among the displays is an authentic section of the Berlin Wall and a real T-Rex skeleton known as Ivan. These unusual objects show how the museum goes beyond typical antiquities and surprises visitors with rare historical pieces.
