Mohamed Nagy Museum, Art history museum in El Haram district, Giza, Egypt

The Mohamed Nagy Museum displays around 1,200 works by a major Egyptian painter of the 20th century, including oil paintings, sketches, and personal items. The collection shows Nagy's artistic development across different periods of his career.

Nagy established his first art studio in 1952, which later became the foundation for the museum. After his death, it was formally opened to the public in 1968, transforming his workspace into an exhibition space.

Nagy explored Egyptian identity through his paintings and later created colorful landscapes and portraits inspired by Ethiopia. Visitors can see how his artistic interests shifted over time and what subjects mattered most to him.

The museum is located near El Remaya Square and opens Tuesday through Sunday. Plan your visit for the cooler morning hours, especially during hot seasons.

The museum preserves Nagy's original art studio alongside a newer exhibition hall, where visitors can see his personal items including an antique rocking chair. This preserved workspace offers a rare look at how an established artist actually lived and worked.
