Review:

The Coptic Museum was built in 1908 on a plot that was intended for a church. Inaugurated in 1910, and again in 1984 after a restoration, its collections have continued to grow throughout the years. It became a state museum in 1931. The Christian Antiquities exhibit was transferred to the Coptic Museum by the Service of Antiquities in 1939, and all Christian site findings have automatically gone there since then. Visitors will find 2nd through 5th century funerary stelae from Kom Abou Billou as well as Coptic art, such as birds and crosses. The museum is located within the Babylon Fortress and is part of the old city walls that were built by Emperor Trajan in 98 A.D.
