Beni Suef Museum

The Beni Suef Museum is an archaeological museum in Egypt that displays finds from nearby excavation sites including statues, canopic jars, and sarcophagi spread across two floors. The collection spans different time periods and shows the material history of the region through various eras.

The museum holds archaeological finds from Abusir and Heracleopolis Magna, sites that served as capitals of Lower and Middle Egypt during the 9th Dynasty. These locations represent a period of significant political change in Egyptian history.

The second floor displays Coptic and Islamic objects that were transferred from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, representing how the region's culture evolved over many centuries.

The museum offers guided tours and educational programs while maintaining regular opening hours and specific guidelines for group visits. Planning your visit ahead makes it easier to get the most from what the institution has to offer.

Many of the objects on display come from local excavation sites in the immediate surroundings. This creates direct links between the artifacts shown and the archaeological areas nearby that visitors can explore themselves.
