The Egyptian Agricultural Museum is unique among world museums of its sort for what it possesses of an integrated rare agricultural monumental group that narrates the story of ancient Egyptian agriculture development since pre-historic era up till the modern age, I.E., the nineteenth century A.D.
Opened in 1938, this is the world's oldest agricultural museum. Its 27-acres of tranquil grounds make it the perfect spot for a family outing. The museum includes exhibits on traditional and modern agricultural equipment and techniques as well as a collection of ineptly stuffed animals. The model exhibits of village life are interesting and often quite humorous.
Entrance fees:
$0.05 foreigners and Egyptians
Tu-Su 9a-3p
