Museum of Islamic Ceramics, Islamic ceramics museum in Zamalek, Egypt.
The museum displays over 300 ceramic pieces from different Islamic periods, arranged across two floors in themed exhibition halls with detailed explanations.
The building housing the museum was constructed in 1921 as Prince Amr Ibrahim's summer palace before its transformation into a museum in 1999.
The collection includes ceramics from Egypt, Turkey, Iran, and Syria, representing different techniques and styles of Islamic pottery throughout the centuries.
Located between Al Sheikh Al Marsafi and Omar Al Khayam streets, the museum reopened in October 2023 after a 14-year restoration project.
A marble fountain decorated with blue ceramics stands in the entrance hall, combining architectural elements with the museum's ceramic focus.
