Museum of Islamic Art
Founded in 1881 during the era of Khedive Tawfik, the Museum of Islamic Art in Cairo displays one of the world’s largest collections of Islamic artifacts. Originally located in Fatimid Al-Hakim Mosque, it was moved in 1903 to its current neo-Mamluk building in Bab al-Khalq. The museum holds more than 100,000 objects including rare Qur’āns, Mamluk mosque lamps, ceramics, woodwork, textiles, metalworks and stone carvings from across the Islamic world.
