it’s an unparalleled opportunity for visitors to experience a journey through time. The museum’s 12 Main Galleries are designed to chronicle Egypt’s entire ancient history, showcasing over 15,000 artifacts from various dynasties and periods. These galleries provide a window into the evolution of Egyptian society, culture, religion, and royal legacies, from the earliest prehistoric times to the Graeco-Roman era. Divided into four primary sections, each gallery captures the essence of a specific period, offering you a remarkable insight into the ancient world.

• Prehistoric to Second Intermediate Period:
  Egypt saw the rise of divine kingship and pyramid building, but power later fragmented, with a strong focus on the afterlife.
• Middle Kingdom to Second Intermediate Period:
  Central power was restored, and funerary practices extended to the common people, reflecting a more inclusive religious system.
• New Kingdom:
  Egypt’s golden age of expansion, wealth, and grand temples under rulers like Ramesses II, with strong devotion to gods like Amun-Ra.
• Third Intermediate to Graeco-Roman Period:
  Despite foreign rule, Egyptian traditions blended with Greco-Roman culture, preserving core beliefs in gods and the afterlife.

The Egyptian Museum is the oldest museum in the world entirely dedicated to Egyptian culture, which is why there is a private guide who talks and explains the fundamental stages of its formation, from the birth of the collection to the present day.
Among the museum’s unparalleled antiquities is the Narmer painting, which immortalizes the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under one king, and is among the museum’s priceless artifacts. In addition to a large group of statues of the great Kings, Cheops, Chephren and Menkaure, the builders of the Pyramids of Giza.
