Alexandria National Museum (ANM)
The ANM is the latest museum to join the many others present in this coastal city. It is housed in a beautiful 3-storey Italian-style building. Most of its exhibits come from other museums in Egypt.
The museum consists of 3 levels - the basement housing the Pharaonic artefacts, the ground level displaying the Graeco-Roman treasures, and the 1st floor - containing relics from Egypt’s Coptic Christian and Islamic heritage, as well as some insight into the valuables left behind by King Farouk’s family before the 1952 revolution. Making our visit to the museum akin to a trek through time, we began with a descend into the basement to view the Pharaonic artefacts. Set out below are some of the pictures taken from this level of the museum.
