Our second destination today will be the Egyptian Museum. The Egyptian Museum is the second oldest building in Egypt architecturally designed for the purpose of preserving and exhibiting antiquities after the Greco-Roman Museum in Alexandria. The museum was built during the reign of Khedive Ismail and was first opened in 1863. The museum, which was once a massive structure with a view of the Nile, was known as Dar Al-Antiquities or Al-Intekhana. It was located where the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the current television building are now. However, in 1878, the Nile flooded, flooding the museum halls to such an extent that a number of works of art and science were lost.
