Museum of Egyptian Antiquities 由 Auguste Mariette 创立,于1902年正式开放,馆藏文物超过12万件,时间跨度涵盖古埃及文明数千年的历史。这座新古典主义风格的建筑由法国建筑师 Marcel Dourgnon 设计,坐落于开罗 Tahrir Square 的显要位置。馆内藏品包括来自 Tutankhamun 陵墓的珍宝、Narmer Palette、历代法老雕像、纸草文献、钱币,以及几乎涵盖古埃及历史各个时期的文物。尽管包括 Royal Mummies 及 Tutankhamun 部分藏品已迁往新建的 Grand Egyptian Museum 和 National Museum of Egyptian Civilization,该馆凭借其仍然庞大的馆藏,依旧是开罗最重要的文化地标之一。这座建筑本身也已被列入埃及的 UNESCO Tentative List。
