The earliest history museums had little actual history to draw on, and instead padded exhibits with wildly speculative displays about how dinosaurs would be elected to Congress by the year 2000. See how far we’ve come with today’s Groupon to the Museum of World Treasures. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday–Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Choose from the following options:

• For $21, you get a Senior Couple one-year membership for two adults aged 60 or older (a $42 value).

At the Museum of World Treasures, multifarious historical artifacts from around the world feed the knowledge-hungry brains of families and students of earth history. Museum members capitalize on myriad benefits, including discounts on educational programs, invitations to special events, and a chance to shake hands with the museum’s resident mummies or teach the mummies more up-to-date fist bumps and palms rubs. Three floors of exhibits await eager explorers, from the hulking dinosaur skeletons of the fossil gallery to an authentic Civil War cannon, part of the museum’s efforts to curate military exhibits ranging from the Revolutionary War to the Vietnam War. Patrons witness original footage from the discovery of the Titanic and feel humbled in the presence of signatures from every American president, including those not yet born.
