History
The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir was completed in 1901 and holds a massive collection of pharaonic artifacts, including many items tied to Tutankhamun; its role is shifting as objects move toward the new Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza.
Conservation
High visitor numbers strain fragile artifacts and historic fabric; use authorized guides, follow museum rules, and avoid touching displays to help preserve collections.
