The museum was built in 1932 to house the numerous antiquities discovered while digging the Suez canal (1859-1869). During the construction of the sweet water canal, which leads from the river Nile to the Suez Canal, a portion of the ancient settlement of Tell el-Maskhuta (Pithom) was unearthed and statues from the ancient temple of Atum emerged. Over the time more artefacts were included from different sites so that the Museum today offers an overview on the cultural history of Egypt from the Early Dynastic Period through to the Islamic Era (project-min.de)

A small and very intimate museum with some interesting museum objects. Particularly noteworthy is the beautiful mosaic on the floor, numerous ceramics from different eras and regions (in the photo from Greece), interesting sculptures and several Coptic icons.

This museum is so underrated, it has funerary exhibition with an actual ancient Egyptian mummy. Its small but lovely. They also have Roman mosaic art and coptic icons. So it has multiple eras and exhibitions.

A collection of antiques found during the work of the Canal. Considers the second eldest museum in Egypt after the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The museum isnt spacious enough, you can take a round in less than 10 minutes. Moreover nothing special about Ismailia Governorate, most of them are Pharoah ancient pieces.

Who has heard of the Ismailia Museum??? We lack museum knowledge and cultural Museum includes exhibits from different eras and the Ministry of Antiquities.

Mercy on the future of our children, we seek refuge with everyone who has the ability to make decisions to develop thought and culture. Push our children towards learning museum culture...a beautiful museum that requires the combined efforts of the family and the school. Make trips to museums

The museum contains pieces from different eras, such as the ancient Egyptians, the Romans, the Ptolemies, and the Islamists.Not very large, you can finish your tour in half an hour at most.The only drawback is that it is not air-conditioned, so in the summer it is preferable to go during the evening period.

This museum is a landmark of Ismailia all children and adults know because everyone in Ismailia visited this museum when he is young at school because every school in Ismailia devote a cultural entertainment day for students to visit this museum and it was one of the most beautiful days for me because I knew that Ismailia has an antiquities museum, although it is not Large but beautiful inside.

The museum is small in size, but rich in antiquities, not huge like statues, but its beauty is that it is household tools, decorations, cosmetics, and other tools and ornaments that fire the imagination of visitors, as if they see how the ancients lived. The place is organized and clean, and it has guides specialized in history and The antiquities are also easy to reach, as it is opposite the ship guidance building in Ismailia, which is one of the most famous landmarks of Ismailia, and the museum is supervised by the Suez Canal Authority and given special care.
