During your San Jose vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum & Planetarium
The Rosicrucian is associated with an educational organization that traces its origins back to the ancient Egyptians, who strongly believed in the afterlife and reincarnation. On display are human and animal mummies, funerary boats, and canopic jars, as well as jewelry, pottery, and bronze tools. There's also a replica of a noble Egyptian's tomb. Note: At press time, the Planetarium was closed for earthquake renovation; call for more information.
San Jose Museum of Art
This contemporary art museum features revolving exhibitions, post-1980 works as well as older contemporary art from its permanent collection. The renovated Historic Wing now includes a cafe, bookstore, and education center. Public tours of exhibitions are offered every day at 12:30 and 2:30pm. On the second Saturday of each month at 12:30pm, the public gallery tour is signed for deaf and hearing-impaired visitors. Groups are asked to call and make reservations at least 1 week in advance.

Now housed in a 132,000-square-foot facility, the Tech Museum allows visitors to grapple with the latest in modern technology.
