International Museum of Nubia, Archaeological museum in Aswan, Egypt.
The International Museum of Nubia is a building in Aswan with exhibition spaces and gardens along the Nile River. It displays objects from several thousand years, including pieces from early, Pharaonic, Roman, Christian, and Islamic times.
The building opened in 1997 with support from UNESCO, following a major rescue effort. This project saved valuable objects and monuments from being flooded by the Aswan Dam.
The museum displays artifacts from different periods that show the long story of the region. Visitors can see how various peoples lived here and left their mark over time.
The building sits on a peninsula on the Nile with good views of the river and surrounding landscape. It is easy to reach and has large areas for walking and spending time outdoors.
The building was constructed with local sandstone and pink granite and received an international architecture award. The materials connect the structure to the natural landscape of the region.
