Cairo, EGplace
View on Map

This vast collection of 20th- and 21st-century Egyptian art is set in the green, well-groomed Gezira Exhibition Grounds, across from the Cairo Opera House. The museum’s highlights are Mahmoud Mukhtar’s deco-elegant bronze Bride of the Nile, along with Mahmoud Said’s painting Al Madina (The City, 1937). The museum was partially open (just the ground floor gallery; hence the free entry) due to ongoing restoration at the time of research. It's well worth a peek though if you're into art.
