Museum of Tanta

The Tanta Museum exhibits artifacts from various periods of Egyptian history, including statues, pottery, jewelry, and ancient tools from prehistoric to Islamic times.

Established in 1913, the museum reopened in 2019 after renovations to become the primary cultural institution in Al-Gharbiyya governorate, preserving regional archaeological findings.

The museum collection contains 2,000 ancient coins and numerous artifacts from Egyptian, Roman, Coptic, and Islamic periods, representing the Delta region's historical development.

Museum labels appear in Arabic and English, while visitors can reach the location by requesting 'met-haf tanta' when taking a taxi in the city.

The museum stands near three important ancient sites - Sais, Naucratis, and Buto - with many exhibited items originating from excavations at these locations.
