Egyptian Museum as viewed across Tahir Square.
The museum is located on a central Cairo square and within walking distance of our hotel, Shepheard's. The square is a central bus depot. Locals catch transport and sell the tourists papyrus and trinkets when the opportunity arises.
Entrance arch to Egyptian Museum showing statues in front. The original museum was built in 1857, but proved too small to hold the growing collections. Once proper export controls were established and the professions of Egyptologist and Archeology focused on researching the 4000 year old civilization, antiquities flowed in. The museum was moved once to a palace, and finally the existing building was constructed.
In the entrance courtyard there is a shrine to the founders of the museum and the sarcophagus of Auguste Mariette who first gathered the vast collection together in 1858. Memorial to Auguste Mariette and other Archaeologists.
Inscription above entrance arch and pharaonic head at keystone. We visited the museum on four separate days, and still didn't see it all. There is a 300 page list of all the artifacts available at the ticket booth, and more useful guides which cover the museum room by room can be bought at the gift shop to the right of the entrance.
