Coptic Museum

This beautiful museum was opened by Marcus Simaika Pasha in 1910. The Museum houses valuable collections of Coptic Christian artifacts. An excellent collection of Nubian art is exhibited in this museum after it was saved from floods in of Lake Nasser.

The artifacts preserved here date from 300 AD to 1000 AD. The entire museum is beautifully decorated and its collections are divided into several groups such as stonework, manuscripts, textiles, etc., and positioned in chronological order. Needles to say, this is the world´s largest collection of Coptic art.
