About Egyptian Museum
As a crown jewel in any Egypt collection, the Egyptian Museum stands as a must-visit for anyone fascinated by ancient civilizations. Its galleries brim with legendary artifacts—think Tutankhamun’s treasures and monumental statues—making it an essential stop for culture seekers and history buffs exploring Cairo’s rich heritage.
The Egyptian Museum was inaugurated in 1902 and is the oldest archaeological museum in the Middle East.
It houses the world’s largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities, with over 120,000 items on display.
The museum’s star attraction, Tutankhamun’s golden mask, is made of 11 kilograms of solid gold and inlaid with semi-precious stones.
The Narmer Palette, one of the oldest royal artifacts in existence (c. 3100 BC), is displayed here and marks the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt.
Despite the opening of new museums in Cairo, the Egyptian Museum still retains many unique artifacts not found anywhere else, including colossal statues and original royal sarcophagi.
