Cavafy Museum, Biographical museum in central Alexandria, Egypt
The museum preserves the former apartment residence of Constantine P. Cavafy, displaying his furniture, letters, notes, portraits, and personal belongings.
The Greek State initiated the museum's establishment in 1991, transferring exhibits from the Greek Consulate General to create this literary memorial space.
Visitors can explore thousands of scholarly articles, published books, and translations in over fifteen languages documenting Cavafy's poetic contributions.
The museum charges an entrance fee of 15 Egyptian pounds for adults and 5 Egyptian pounds for students to access the collection.
A dedicated room within the museum commemorates writer Stratis Tsirkas, featuring the period when he resided with Cavafy in Alexandria.
