Welcome to the Tandy Archaeological Museum

Open to the public, our museum produces regular exhibits, lectures and self-teaching displays which highlight the various cultures that existed throughout the Near East in antiquity. Our collections are comprised primarily of archaeological objects as well as some ethnographic material. The Tandy offers a comprehensive study collection of pottery representing numerous typologies within each major period in the Ancient Near East.

Our collections also include epigraphic materials from Qumran, coins from the Hellenistic to the Byzantine Periods, seals and amulets from Egypt and Mesopotamia, clay tablets from Ur of the Chaldeans, rare Coptic textiles and much more. We invite you to browse our collections and direct any inquiries to our trained staff of archaeologists and cultural historians.
