Egypt's Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Ahmed Issa inaugurated an educational museum in the Saffron Palace on the university’s campus in the Abbasia district.
The museum houses 167 artifacts that shed light on ancient Egyptian history in its various historical eras, from the Pharaonic era to the modern era and the family of Muhammad Ali Pasha.
These artifacts have been selected from the stores of the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, Manial Palace, and the Royal Vehicles Museum.
The museum also featured a collection of artifacts from the excavations of the Egyptian archaeological mission of the university working in the Arab al-Hosn region, and some of the other holdings of Ain Shams University such as the collection of papyrus and currency from the Greek, Roman, and Islamic eras, as well as heritage manuscripts.
