The National Museum Of Alexandria

The Alexandria National Museum (ANM) is located in Alexandria, Egypt. Hosni Mubarak opened it on December 31, 2003, and it is housed in a refurbished Italian-style palace on Tariq Al-Horreya Street (formerly Rue Fouad). The building used to house the United States Consulate.

The museum is housed in a historic Italianate palace. It was the old residence of a wood salesperson. It used to house the US consulate. The building, which was built in 1926, is surrounded by a huge lawn and includes a basement. The three-story palace was a meeting place for the Egyptian upper-class society of Alexandria.

Floor 1 represents the Pharaonic era. The mummies are displayed in a replica of a funeral chamber. 
Floor 2 features Hellenistic and Roman artifacts, including items from Heraklion and Canopus
Floor 3: Ancient Egyptian, Coptic, and the Muslim world as well as the 19th and 20th centuries.[ The city of Alexandria is also included in the collection. 

A highlight for many visitors is a sculpture believed to be of the VP city’s namesake, Alexander the Great.

 

You can go inside the museum and look at everything, but you have to be careful not to break anything.
