The Museum is considered as one of the well-preserved residential buildings from the 17th century in Cairo and a manifestation of the majesty and grandeur of Islamic architecture. The museum was established in 1540, and some say it was built on a mountain on which the ark of Noah rested! The Museum consists of two houses dating to the Ottoman period (16th and 17thcenturies). The main hall in the museum is the reception hall, which consists of marble tables decorated with paintings of fruits, flowers, and drinks. The museum features a collection of distinctive, wonderful, and unique paintings by Egyptian and international artists, including Mohamed Naji, Mahmoud Saeed, and Amy Nemer.
