The Egyptian Museum is one of the largest and most famous museums in the world, located in the heart of Egypt’s capital, Cairo, just north of Tahrir Square. It dates back to 1835 and was, at that time, located in Azbekiya Park. It was then transferred to the second Exhibition Hall of the Citadel of Salah El-Din, until the time of French sociologist Auguste Mariette, who worked at the Louvre Museum in Paris.

He designed a museum beside the Nile at Bulaq, that exhibited a collection of monuments. When these monuments were exposed to the danger of flooding, they were transferred to a special annex of the Khedive Ismail Palace in Giza. Then the Egyptian scientist Gaston Maspero designed and opened a new museum in 1902 during the reign of Khedive Abbas Helmi II, whose location is in the heart of Cairo, the current home of the Egyptian Museum. It is one of the first museums in the world to be established as a public museum. It contains more than 150,000 artifacts, the most important of which are the archaeological collections that were discovered in the Valley of the Kings
