Museum of Tanta, Archaeological museum in Tanta, Egypt
The Museum of Tanta is an archaeological collection in the city of Tanta in Upper Egypt and houses artifacts spanning multiple periods of Egyptian history. The exhibits include statues, pottery, jewelry, and tools ranging from prehistoric times through the Islamic era.
The institution was founded in 1913 as a modest project to preserve local archaeological finds. After significant renovations completed in 2019, it became the region's primary cultural facility.
The collection reflects how the Delta region was shaped by successive waves of settlement and trade over thousands of years. Objects on display show connections between local communities and the outside world across different periods.
The exhibit labels are displayed in both Arabic and English so visitors can understand the information clearly. To reach the museum by taxi, you can ask the driver for 'met-haf tanta'.
The museum holds approximately 2,000 ancient coins, a collection that is often overlooked compared to its larger sculptural pieces. These coins offer a rare window into trade networks and economic life in the ancient Delta region.
