Alexandria National Museum, Archaeological museum in Alexandria, Egypt
The Alexandria National Museum spans three floors within a restored Italian-style palace, displaying chronological exhibits from ancient Egypt through modern times.
The building served as a private residence for wood merchant Asaad Bassili until 1954, when it became the American consulate before transforming into a museum in 2003.
The museum houses 1,800 artifacts representing different periods including Pharaonic, Ptolemaic, Roman, Coptic, and Islamic civilizations that shaped Alexandria's identity.
Located at 110 El-Horreya Road in central Alexandria, the museum opens daily with guided tours available in multiple languages through the chronological exhibition halls.
The underwater archaeology section presents recovered artifacts from ancient shipwrecks and submerged parts of Alexandria's harbor, including granite statues and religious objects.
