Museum in The Pyramids of Giza · founded 1908
The Coptic Museum is a museum in Coptic Cairo, Egypt, which contains the largest collection of Coptic Christian artifacts in the world. It was founded by Marcus Simaika in 1908 to house Coptic antiquities. The museum traces the history of Egypt from its beginnings to the present day. It was erected on 8,000 square meter land offered by the Coptic Orthodox Church, under the guardianship of Pope Cyril V. The Coptic museum houses the world's most important examples of Coptic art. The façade of the museum was made to resemble the façade of the 12th century Al-Aqmar Mosque.
