On many occasions I have told you about museums, specifically the most special in each city and also very important worldwide. Today I will also tell you about a museum, one that is also in a magical city that will turn your visit into something very special. Its about Cairo museum, in Egypt, a unique museum with spectacular collections and exhibitions that you will not be able to see anywhere else.
It is a spectacular museum and classic style in which its collections seem to come to life and tell you the story for themselves without the need to read or attend to any explanation. Everything you will see here you will not be able to see in any other museum in the world. You will see a lot of objects of all kinds that are authentic antique jewelry and that in some cases they were stolen and exhibited in other museums around the world but little by little they have been recovering.
It was founded in 1835 and preserves the country's most important historical heritage. All the pieces are classified and exposed in a European way and keeping their originality to the maximum so that no detail is lost with their exhibition. Currently there are some 140,000 exhibits among which we can highlight mummies, coffins, hieroglyphs and treasures of all kinds and from different periods.
The museum is very close to the financial center of the city and the entrance costs 20 pounds egyptian though if you wear Photo camera or video you have to pay a surcharge. There is also a bookstore with many very interesting publications and a store where you can find replicas of many objects inside as well as various souvenirs.
