Egyptian Museum as viewed across Tahir Square.

The Cairo Egyptian Musuem is filled with Egyptian Artifacts. Currently they are rearranging and cataloguing to move objects to other musuems such as the new one being built at the Giza Pyramids. Still the Egyptian Museum is worth a full day or more if you can afford the time.

The Egyptian Museum is located on a central Cairo square, Tahir 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.

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.

Memorial to Auguste Mariette and other Archaeologists.

In the entrance courtyard at the Cairo Egyptian Museum 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.
