After 15 years of closing its doors, Princess Aisha Fahmy’s palace is finally opened Wednesday night after renovations. Minister of Culture Helmy El-Namnam opened the gates of the mansion, which is dubbed Mogamaa Al-Fonoon (Arts Complex), for the public to witness its restoration. Aisha Fahmy’s palace is one of the masterpieces that dates to King Farouk’s era. The renewal process also encompassed the mansion’s silk portraits, which are rare, and most of them are in the palace. The opening also witnessed an exhibition titled “From the treasures of our museums” in the basement hall of the mansion.
