Coptic Museum In Egypt

The Coptic Museum in the Egyptian capital, this museum is located in ancient Egypt within the boundaries of the Babylon fortress Its construction began in the days of the Persians, but many additions took place during the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus and Trajan, and then those who came after them from the Roman emperors were added to it. The French scientist (Maspero) played an important role in establishing the museum, as he worked to collect works of Coptic art and allocate a hall for them in the Egyptian Museum. Subsequently, Mark Pasha called Smika in 1893 AD to include the Coptic Antiquities Group in the interest of the Antiquities and Arts Committee. This man struggled for a long time until he was able to create the current building of the museum which opened in 1910 and appointed its first director. The first guide to the museum was published in 1930
