The extraordinary idea of housing an antiquities museum in the cultural complex of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina was born when several exquisite pieces dating back to the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine eras were discovered during the excavation works at the construction site of the Library.The BA Antiquities Museum is one of the few museums in the world that displays artifacts discovered at the selfsame location of the museum.The Museum was officially inaugurated on 16 October 2002. Its collections were carefully selected to reflect the rich, multi-cultural history of Egypt with its Pharaonic, Greco-Roman, Coptic, and Islamic heritage. Special focus is given to Alexandria and the Hellenistic period. The Museum houses 1,133 pieces.For More Information, Check this link.
