Lonely Planet review for Mr & Mrs Mahmoud Khalil Museum
A noted politician during the 1940s, Mohammed Mahmoud Khalil amassed one of the Middle East’s finest collections of 19th- and 20th-century European work. The wonderful Mr & Mrs Mahmoud Khalil Museum includes sculptures by Rodin and paintings by the likes of Delacroix, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, Manet, Monet and Pissarro. There are also some Rubens, Sisleys and a Picasso. The paintings are housed in Khalil’s former villa, later taken over by President Sadat. It’s just a few minutes’ walk south of the Cairo Sheraton.
