Karanis Site Museum, Archaeological museum in Tamiya, Faiyum Governorate, Egypt.
The Karanis Site Museum displays over 300 artifacts across two floors, showcasing ancient Egyptian objects from Crocodilopolis and the Faiyum Oasis region.
The University of Michigan's Kelsey Museum of Archaeology conducted extensive excavations at Karanis between 1924 and 1935, revealing three distinct occupation layers from Ptolemaic times.
The museum exhibits document daily activities through pottery, textiles, glassware, and written records that demonstrate the economic and social patterns of ancient inhabitants.
Located adjacent to the Karanis archaeological site, the museum provides guided tours and educational programs for visitors exploring the Faiyum Governorate region.
Researchers discovered 27,000 coins at the site, including a collection of Roman aurei in perfect condition, indicating strong economic connections with Alexandria.
