Egypt’s Minister of Culture Ahmed Fouad Hanno has inaugurated the Farouk Hosny Museum in Cairo’s Zamalek district, describing the preservation of creative memory as a fundamental pillar of cultural work. The opening ceremony for the museum, which showcases the work of the artist and former minister of culture, was attended by several ministers, ambassadors, and cultural figures. “Art is a great reality that flits between dreams and wakefulness; it touches us, yet we cannot grasp it,” Farouk Hosny said at the event. The museum, which operates under the Farouk Hosny Foundation for Culture and Arts, features a selection of the artist’s works reflecting his various aesthetic transitions and creative stages. The ministry statement described the museum as a living cultural project that seeks to revive aesthetic dialogue and establish art as a sustainable human value.
