Egyptian Museum

埃及文物博物館由Auguste Mariette創立,於1902年正式開幕,館內收藏超過12萬件文物,橫跨古埃及數千年文明發展的歷程。這座新古典主義建築由法國建築師Marcel Dourgnon設計,坐落於開羅Tahrir Square的顯要位置。館藏包括來自Tutankhamun陵墓的珍寶、Narmer Palette、歷代偉大法老的雕像、莎草紙文獻、錢幣,以及幾乎涵蓋古埃及歷史每個時期的文物。儘管部分館藏——包括Royal Mummies及Tutankhamun收藏的一部分——已遷往較新落成的Grand Egyptian Museum及National Museum of Egyptian Civilization,但憑藉其仍然龐大的館藏,這裡依舊是開羅最重要的文化地標之一。這座建築本身亦已列入埃及的UNESCO Tentative List。
