An unexpected bonanza!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/01/07
Since I was researching the early Coptic Church for an historical novel, I was delighted to see this collection of Coptic work in all media, from painting to textiles to metalwork. An inexpensive 143 page catalog is available that shows many of the exhibits and also some churches in Coptic Cairo. The collection in this newly refurbished museum is beautifully displayed. Coptic Cairo is a must see for history- minded tourists; definitely ask your agency to include this area in your tour.
Admission was US$3, a bargain.
