Information

The Alexandria National Museum is located in Alexandria, Egypt. The museum became official in December of 2003. The museum is located in an Italian-style palace that has been renovated to suit the museum's indoor style. The Alexandria National Museum contains around 1,800 different types of artifacts that portray the narrative of Alexandria and Egypt. The vast majority of these pieces came from other Egyptian exhibition halls.

The importance of the Alexandria National Museum really resonates with the architecture of the building that it is in. The once house belonged to a woods salesperson. The now converted museum is three floors and each floor pertains to a certain theme of three different collections. The urban planning of this renovation was immaculate as it had been strategically planned for each of those three collections to become home to those three different floor levels.
