There are countless famous museums around the world, but none can surpass the Egyptian Museum in the capital city of Cairo.
 |
| The Egyptian Museum, also known as the Cairo Museum, is located in the Egyptian capital of Cairo. This 100-year-old building is filled with artifacts from ancient Egypt and is all very fascinating. |
 |
| The museum is so large that visitors can spend a whole day here. Artifacts are sometimes loaned out for exhibitions around the world. |
 |
| The statue of King Tutankhamun standing on a paper boat was stolen in January 2011. The artifacts from the tomb of the 18th Dynasty pharaoh are also a highlight of the museum. Tutankhamun died at the age of 19, and was buried with many treasures, most of which are on display here. |
 |
| Visitors will be able to see the golden mask of King Tutankhamun, decorated with turquoise, lapis lazuli and coral. The museum also displays mummies and tomb jewelry. However, these priceless items are in a separate room and are not allowed to be photographed. |
 |
| Tutankhamun's golden sandals were buried with the pharaoh's body for 3,000 years. |
 |
| The outermost layer of King Tutankhamun's mummy. The king's body has now been removed from the coffin. He married his sister when he was 10 years old and died 9 years later. |
 |
| Pharaoh Khufu, also known as Cheops, was the builder of the Great Pyramid that still exists today. This is the only surviving image of him, measuring about 5cm in height. The tiny ivory portrait dates back 5,000 years. |
 |
| The only remaining portrait of Nefertiti - queen of Pharaoh Akhenaten. Both worshiped the god Aten - the sun disc in ancient Egyptian beliefs. |
 |
| The famous statue of Seneb and his happy family. Seneb was a high-ranking official in the ancient Egyptian kingdom, possessed a lot of wealth and had an admirable life. If you pay attention, you will see that Seneb is a dwarf. The sculptor placed his two children at his feet to cover up his defects, next to him is his beloved wife. |
 |
| The axe was discovered in the tomb of Pharaoh Ahmose. Previously, axes were objects present in funerals, not used in daily life. |
 |
| Only a few mummies of adults, children, infants and animals are on display for visitors. Royal mummies are on display in a separate exhibition for an additional fee. |
 |
| Egyptian culture and civilization is vast, and new artifacts are constantly being discovered. The most recent discovery is the statue of Pharaoh Psammetich I, excavated on the outskirts of Cairo, now on display in front of the museum. |
 |
| However, finding the museum is quite difficult because there is no map or clear sign. Therefore, visitors should find a guide to get to the place where the most admirable treasures in the world are kept. You can hire a guide at the museum. The entrance fee to the museum for adults is 4.50 USD (about more than 100,000 VND), for children is 2.25 USD (about more than 50,000 VND). |
