Museum is very small and under renovations, but entry is cheap and the art within is worth seeing.

A very small Museum. The entry is very hard to find . It’s in front of the main square. The Museum it self is very neglected. The statues and art are all dirty and dusty . The floor . Broken doors and windows. Sadly this Museum could have been much better for Art lovers . There is so much that can be done . Like having a book store . A coffee shop . An Area for young artists. A place for Movies old Egyptian movies …. I hope this place will be saved . Cause the Art displayed there was great .

Visited the museum during one of my visits to Cairo, the museum contains many stunning artworks, took me 1 hr to finish the whole 3 story building, although there’s many interesting and important masterpieces there yet dust is everywhere, you can always see a layer of dust on the showed artworks, no air connection, or it’s always broken Im not sure, tickets are very cheap, located inside the Opera House, if you interested in art I suggest on you to visit.
