It's Friday, so it's time to take a look around and find the best deals in art, beauty, fashion and style -- it's a whole lot better than working!
Today's Houston Press Voice Daily Deal is good for half-off ($10 for $20) for one admission to the Houston Museum of Natural Science Exhibit Hall, which features both the new Paleontology Hall and the new Hall of Ancient Egypt.
The Paleo Hall has everything from trilobites to T. Rex; the predators and prey featured in the new exhibit are always in action, displayed in a "prehistoric safari" that includes the grand saga of human evolution. In short, it's freaking awesome.
The brand-spanking new Hall of Ancient Egypt is "a quintessential example of what archaeologists call primary civilization; the themes of writing, religion, natural resources and of course mummification will be explored in this new, permanent exhibition hall."
All that for ten bucks? Yes, please. And don't forget to stop by the HMNS gift shop, where you can shop for some seriously gorgeous jewelry.
