About Hotels in Gayer-Anderson Museum!
The Gayer-Anderson Museum in Cairo is an iconic museum located in the heart of the city. It was built in 1632 by Muhammed Ali Pasha, a powerful Ottoman governor and founder of Egypt's modern dynasty. The museum is named after two British officers, Major Robert and Captain John Gayer-Anderson, who occupied the building until 1942.
The museum houses an impressive collection of artifacts belonging to various ancient Egyptian dynasties including Pharaonic artifacts, Roman and Coptic artifacts as well as Islamic art pieces. The most remarkable pieces include a magnificent wooden door from the 18th Dynasty, painted ceilings dating back to the Mamluk period and several wooden screens decorated with intricate Islamic artworks. It also displays a vast number of coins and ceramic objects from various countries.
Apart from its historical significance, Gayer-Anderson Museum is renowned for its stunning architecture which integrates elements of both French and Oriental styles. Visitors can admire the beautiful stained glass windows located on the first floor and admire its grand staircase that leads up to an uncovered courtyard surrounded by small rooms full of antiques and curiosities collected by the two officers throughout their stay in Egypt.
Moreover, visitors can learn about life during the Muhammad Ali period by visiting the make-shift hospital set up by Major Gayer Anderson for wounded soldiers during World War II or ponder upon his eclectic collection of books housed in a special library room filled with rare manuscripts.
A visit to Gayer-Anderson Museum is not only a journey into ancient civilizations but also an opportunity to explore one man’s quest for knowledge as he sought to collect extraordinary objects from all corners of the world while weaving together different cultural influences into one harmonious whole.
