Denshway Museum

The three-level museum building incorporates stone spiral staircases and exhibits spread across five halls dedicated to the Denshway incident documentation.

The museum commemorates the events of 1906 when British colonial forces executed four Egyptian villagers following a dispute over pigeon hunting.

Local artists contributed 32 paintings and sculptures depicting different aspects of the Denshway incident throughout the museum's exhibition spaces.

Located 75 kilometers northwest of Cairo, the museum spans 2,850 square meters and includes a theater, cultural center, and music hall.

The museum building design mirrors traditional Egyptian pigeon towers, connecting its architecture to the historical conflict over pigeon hunting.
