Institut d'Égypte, Research library in Cairo, Egypt.
The Institut d'Égypte maintains collections of manuscripts, scientific documents, and historical records dating back to the late eighteenth century.
Napoleon Bonaparte established the Institut d'Égypte on August 22, 1798, during the French campaign to promote scientific research and exploration in Egypt.
The institute facilitated intellectual exchange between French and Egyptian scholars through regular meetings, lectures, and collaborative research projects.
Visitors can access the reconstructed building near Tahrir Square, which houses restored collections following the 2011 fire that damaged the original structure.
The institute's early research contributed to the creation of Description de l'Égypte, a detailed documentation of Egyptian antiquities, natural history, and modern conditions.
