Lonely Planet review

Founded in 1908, this museum houses Coptic art from Graeco-Roman times to the Islamic era drawn from Cairo, the desert monasteries and Nubia. In recent years it has undergone a major restoration, and parts have been closed to the public. By the time you read this, the full collection should be on show. Exhibits include textiles, frescoes, stonework, woodwork, manuscripts, glass and ceramics. There's a pleasant enclosed garden and a small café.
