What to see in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo?

As the United Kingdom, operations manager for a world-Tours Limited, I am often asked all kinds of travel questions.
A customer inquires about travel to Egypt recently for the first time, and wanted my advice, to see what the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. Here’s my advice ….

There are more than 120,000 articles in the Egyptian Museum, as well as articles on a type of holiday in Egypt, you will be a maximum of 1 day, here’s my proposal for the need to see objects in the museum.

The Cairo Museum or the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, which their full name, should certainly tops the list of every person, planning to visit Cairo. You must keep in mind, however, that if you are looking at 1 minute past each exhibition there are about nine months to see everything - really not practical (unless you plan to visit really long!)

Collection, the museum began in 1830 and was designed to try to help reduce or remove items stolen in the country. The existing Egyptian Museum itself was on 15 November 1902 and was the French architect Marcel Dourgnon.

The range of positions is enormous and many people feel that the museum has only “pharaonic” artifacts whereas in fact it actually feels exposed prehistoric Egypt until the Roman era.

There are 42 rooms on the first floor and 47on the second and they are “generally” in chronological order. From 1 Bank has a large atrium with the largest mass, including a pair of statues of Rameses II and Amenhotep III and his wife Tiye. This is actually the best from above (from 2nd floor)

Not surprisingly the most presentations are available in the gallery Tutankamun. This amazing collection of artifacts was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922. 3000 articles are here, including the most famous of all, his “death”, masks and other objects that his coffin to the throne and elements of jewelry
