Alexandria National Museum

Alexandria National Museum occupies an Italianate palace built for Asaad Basili Pasha and opened as a museum in 2003. Its collection runs from prehistory to the modern era, with objects raised from the sunken sites of Abu Qir Bay, a coin hall, Islamic-era weapons and jewellery of the Muhammad Ali family.
