The Military Museum in Cairo is famous for its rich collection and historical building which was originally a palace during the reign of Mohamed Ali, the founder of the royal family that ruled Egypt between 1805 and 1952.

It was established in 1947 after the British forces evacuated the Saladin Citadel and was officially inaugurated two years later. It was modernized in co-operation with North Korea and reopened on 29 November 1993 by President Hosni Moubarak.
