11 Masterpieces from the Egyptian Museum: A Guide to Cairo’s Eternal Treasures

Golden Mask icon
While the world awaits the full opening of the GEM, the original Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square remains the undisputed custodian of the Old Kingdom's soul. This red-brick palace houses treasures that define history itself. Here, you will find the Narmer Palette (the first historical document in the world), the hauntingly realistic eyes of the Seated Scribe, and the only known three-dimensional image of King Khufu—a statue only 3 inches tall. These 11 masterpieces are not just art; they are the surviving witnesses of 3,000 years of civilization.

Masterpieces from the Museum of the Egyptian Antiquities

To start, you can discover the beauty of ancient Egyptian history through this list of masterpieces from the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities. Cairo today has several major museums, but the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, near Tahrir Square, is the Middle East’s oldest archaeological museum. The building itself is the world’s oldest purpose-built museum, opening in 1901.

Furthermore, the museum houses thousands of unique ancient Egyptian artifacts. A Frenchman named Auguste Mariette, considered the founder of Egyptology, first proposed the idea of building a museum to hold these treasures. Unfortunately, he died before he could see his dream fulfilled. His students opened the museum in his place. Therefore, you can find a statue of Mariette in the museum’s gardens, surrounded by busts of his students.
