Mathaf Mustafa Kamil, National museum in Islamic Cairo, Egypt
The Mostafa Kamel Museum features two exhibition halls displaying personal belongings, books, letters, photographs, and dining items of the nationalist leader.
The building opened in 1956 as a museum after serving as a mausoleum containing the remains of Egyptian political figures Mustafa Kamel and Muhammad Farid.
The museum contains a collection of oil paintings depicting the Denshway incident along with rare photographs documenting important moments in Egyptian nationalism.
The museum welcomes visitors free of charge and underwent renovations in 2016 to update both internal spaces and external areas including gardens and fences.
The architectural design incorporates a traditional Islamic mausoleum dome and houses the remains of intellectuals Abd al-Rahman al-Rafei and Fathi Radwan.
