Karanis Museum in Fayoum Governorate is located at the entrance to the famous archaeological city of Kranis. Karanis Museum opened in 1974, to introduce the history of Fayoum.
The museum houses some artifacts found in the Kom Oshim area.

In 1993, the area of the museum building was increased and a loft was right.
Karanis Museum reopened to visitors in November 2016 after its development.

The museum’s display screenplay focuses on diverse topics related to everyday aspects.
The scenario of the museum show also highlights economic activities in the Fayoum community.

We will start with the Karanis Museum or the Museum of the Archaeological Village of Al-Kranis, which is one of the ancient Egyptian archaeological cities located within the scope of Fayoum Governorate in the Kom Oshim area on Cairo Fayoum Road. It was one of the Greco-Roman cities established by Ptolemy II. 

The second, archaeological excavations began in 1895 by the archaeologist Hunt. Later, the Michigan Expedition carried out excavations during the period from 1914 to 1935, while a mission from the Faculty of Arts at Cairo University carried out its excavations in the city of Cranes in 1968. These excavations revealed many features of this city, such as streets, including the Royal Street, also revealed that it showed that the city was one of the most fertile Egyptian cities, where it produced wheat crops, olives, barley, fruits, and dates.

These missions discovered large numbers of coffins, stone houses, pottery, and statues glorifying the gods, such as statues of blue Qaishani, which sanctify the god, in addition to some bronze pieces, spindle heads, wooden and stone mills, water preservation utensils and bronze tools. Currently, many of these artifacts are on display at the Kom Oshim Museum. This museum was established in early 1974 to preserve the archaeological heritage of this village as well as the cultural heritage that is still preserved by the city of Fayoum. This museum was built on a small area that some thought would not accommodate all the archaeological archive

But after the completion of the construction process, it was found that this small museum can absorb more artifacts by providing additional floors. Indeed, the museum began with only one floor that included many archaeological statues and heritage archives, but it was soon attached to another floor in 1993 to take the prestigious Museums Authority with original historical status, as it became no less important The content of any of them, although this museum contains historical figures presented for the first time, it was not exploited as an important tourist resource. Therefore, many called for the conclusion of a cooperation protocol between the colleges of tourism in the Republic and the Ministry of Antiquities to form domestic trips aimed at disseminating information related to the contents of the museum and aimed at developing tourism.
