THE EGYPTIAN MUSEUM VISIT

The Egyptian Museum, which features artifacts from the Pharaonic period. The museum displays a rare collection of 5000 years of art which is considered the largest most precious collection of Egyptian art in the world. Over 250,000 genuine artifacts are presented, including an exhibit dedicated to Tutankhamen collection of treasure, gold, and jewelry which was enclosed in his tomb for over 3,500 years before it was discovered in the 1920s when his tomb was discovered.

Description

Since the museum contains more than a quarter of a million objects spanning over three millennia from the Old Kingdom to the Roman period, it would take at least nine months to see everything, and only if allowing a minute or less at each exhibit. That calculation doesn’t include the vast number of artefacts languishing in the museum’s basement. Some of the larger statues have reputedly sunk through the floor, earning the museum the ironic title of ‘Egypt’s last major excavation’. Cataloguing is now, however, under way.
