The Greco-Roman Museum in Alexandria Opens Its First Temporary Archaeological Exhibition Since Reopening

The Greco-Roman Museum in Alexandria has opened its first temporary archaeological exhibition since its reopening, entitled “Alexandria… Identity and Culture Through Time,” as part of the celebrations for Alexandria Governorate’s National Day and International Translation Day.

The exhibition features 21 selected artifacts from the museum’s collection, displayed to the public for the first time. The exhibition’s narrative highlights the richness and diversity of Alexandria’s cultural heritage and underscores the importance of Greek and Roman inscriptions and writings in documenting various aspects of daily life in the city throughout the ages.

The exhibited pieces include ancient coins, lamps, pottery, and underwater artifacts recovered from Abu Qir Bay, as well as papyri, ostraca, and mummy labels bearing Greek texts. These artifacts shed light on aspects of daily life, commercial activity, and funerary practices in Alexandria. Explore the museum with us during Egypt Day Tours, which offers daily excursions.

Dr. Ahmed Hamida, Head of the Museums Sector at the Supreme Council of Antiquities, confirmed that organizing the "Alexandria… Identity and Culture Through Time" exhibition comes within the framework of the Museums Sector's commitment to making the collections of Egyptian museums accessible to the public and showcasing artifacts stored in warehouses that have not previously had the opportunity to be displayed. This contributes to enriching the visitor experience and providing an opportunity to learn about other aspects of Egypt's history and civilization.

He pointed out that the exhibition represents the beginning of a series of temporary archaeological exhibitions that will be organized at the museum, allowing for the presentation of its archaeological collections in a renewed way and highlighting its distinguished pieces. This reinforces its role as a cultural and scientific institution that contributes to introducing the history of Alexandria and its status as a city where civilizations and cultures met.
