Qasr Al-Eini Museum, Medical museum in Cairo, Egypt.

The museum contains two main halls and a side hall displaying medical artifacts, rare books, and scientific materials from the history of Egyptian medicine.

The museum opened its first phase in March 1998 following Dr. Mohammed Almenawi's 1976 proposal to document the legacy of Arab medical education.

The museum houses an encyclopedia titled The Wise Men of Qasr Al-Eini, documenting biographies and photographs of 154 professors from the 19th century.

Located on the ground floor of Kasr El Aini Hospital's conference hall, the museum presents the evolution of medical practices through exhibits and documents.

The collection includes marble tableaux discovered in 1979 and Turkish language orders from Muhammad Ali Pasha for the construction of Al-Aini Palace.
