The Graeco-Roman Museum displays antiquities from Alexandria and its region from the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, including statues, sarcophagi, mosaics and coins. Founded in 1892, it moved in 1895 into a purpose-built neoclassical building with a columned portico, which reopened in 2023 after a long renovation.
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.
The Royal Jewelry Museum shows jewellery and precious objects of the Muhammad Ali dynasty, which ruled Egypt from 1805 to 1952, in the palace of Princess Fatma al-Zahra in Zizinia, built in 1919. Exhibits include a diamond-set collar of Muhammad Ali, a gold chessboard and jewellery sets made in Europe, in rooms with gilded and painted ceilings.
