Torpedo Factory Art Center & Alexandria Archaeology Museum

What do you do with a former munitions dump and arms factory? How about turn it into one of the best art spaces in the region? Three floors of artists studios and free creativity are on offer in Old Town Alexandria, as well as the opportunity to buy paintings and sculptures direct from their creators. The Alexandria Archaeology Museum is also housed here. This is the laboratory where archaeologists clean up and catalog the artifacts they have unearthed at local digs. First-hand observation of the work, excavation exhibits and hands-on discovery kits allow visitors to witness and participate in the reconstruction of Alexandria’s history.
