Description


Royal Jewelry Museum

The Royal Jewelry Museum (Arabic: متحف المجوهرات‎) is an art and history museum in the Zizenia neighborhood of Alexandria, Egypt. It is located in the former palace of Princess Fatma Al-Zahra'. Its halls contain an inestimable collection of jewels and jewelry of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty. 19th-century paintings, statues, and decorative arts are also exhibited in the rooms and lobbies. The museum was first inaugurated on 24 October 1986. After several years of renovations and expansion it was reopened in April 2010. The museum has been closed to the public since the beginning of the January 25th revolution in 2011.
