Information

Cavafy Museum is an apartment in the middle of Alexandria, Egypt. Which earlier was the habitation of the Greek artist Constantine P. Cavafy, where he lived the majority of his life. The historical center began as an activity drew closer by Kostis Moskof, who was the social attaché at the Greek Embassy in Cairo, and afterward with the help of finance manager G. Stratigakis and other social bodies. The little size exhibition hall shows letters, notes, and sonnets composed by Cavafy, Many pictures, drawings, and photos of Cavafy and dear companions, a room committed to the author and dear companion Stratis Tsirkas as it was his room when he lived with Cavafy for quite a while.

The loft is situated close to Cairo Opera House, in the Attain division, Alexandria. The road name was Lepsius during Cavafy's life; it was eventually changed to Sharm El Sheik. After the gallery was opened, the tight and short road became Cavafy Street, which is very near two of the city's most significant roads, Fouad St. also, Safiya Zaghloul St. It is interesting to see that the littlest of apartments can be transformed into a gallery.
