Alexandria National Museum

After being fully renovated by the Egyptian Ministry of Culture, the 1929 Italian-style mansion, situated on Fouad Street, houses the Alexandria National Museum. The museum opened to the public in 2003, and displays 1,800 pieces of art spanning Alexandria’s transformation from prehistoric and Pharaonic times to the later Graeco-Roman, Coptic and Islamic periods.

Among the artefacts are several discovered by the IEASM during underwater excavations in the ancient Portus Magnus of Alexandria.
