Egyptian Geological Museum, Natural history museum in Maadi, Egypt
The Egyptian Geological Museum displays an extensive collection of minerals, rocks, and fossils from different regions across Egypt and neighboring territories.
The museum, established in 1901, emerged during Egypt's early twentieth-century movement to create scientific institutions dedicated to research and public education.
The institution contributes to geological education through specialized tours, workshops, and research programs designed for students, academics, and the general public.
The museum building does not provide wheelchair access, and visitors should plan accordingly when organizing their visit to the geological exhibitions.
The collection includes specimens that document the formation of Egyptian landscapes over millions of years through geological processes and environmental changes.
