The exhibits of the Museum were transferred from other museums in Egypt such as the Cairo Museum, the Museum of Islamic Art, the Coptic Museum, the Museum of the Royal Jewels in Alexandria.
It covers all phases of the history of these people. That is to say, it begins precisely at the dawn of this civilization, in the so-called pre-dynastic and archaic period, up to the recent contemporary period. Therefore, it is not only possible to find pieces and objects from the Pharaonic period, but also other important historical phases, such as the Roman, Coptic, and Arabic, from the Middle Ages to the present day. However, the museum not only organizes its rooms chronologically but also thematically. In that sense, the most attractive rooms are undoubtedly those dedicated to the royal mummies that paraded through Cairo in April 2021. This is the case of the kings Seqenenra Taa (XVII Dynasty), Ahmose I (XVII Dynasty), or Ramses II (XIX Dynasty), as well as the queen-pharaoh Hatshepsut and other monarchs such as Ahmose-Nefertari and Tiye. Some of the most important pieces are also located in the Central Hall, where important sculptures of famous figures such as Akhenaten, grave goods from ancient Egyptian tombs, and furniture from historic mosques are exhibited. The Museum of Egyptian Civilization is still in the process of enriching its holdings, so it is to be expected that its rooms and collections will be expanded or modified. And this museum, the nearby Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza, and the entire promotional strategy of both have made one thing clear: the country has entered a new phase in which its historical heritage has become a great spectacle to attract an increasing number of travelers from all over the planet.
