Review & FAQ:
The Egyptian Museum in Cairo contains the world's biggest collection of pharaonic antiquities. The original collection was kept in Boulaq and was established in the late 19th century. In 1891, the collection was moved to the palace of Isma'il Pasha in Giza and it eventually went to its current location at Tahrir Square in 1902. There are 107 halls in the museum, each displaying artifacts that date back to prehistoric and Roman periods. With approximately 160,000 objects in the museum, there is an additional charge to see the mummies.
