Children's museum

The Cairo Children’s Museum was opened in 2011 as part of the country’s partnership with the British Museum. It is the largest museum for children in Africa and the Arab world. It is located in the Heliopolis Forest Park.

The museum was created on the initiative of Suzanne Mubarak, the wife of the former president of the country. On the 2nd floor of the museum there is a statue of her, which was presented by the British Museum in recognition of the contribution of Suzanne Mubarak to the care of the children of Egypt. There is a call for children to enrich their own knowledge.

The exposition of the museum illustrates the history of Egypt from ancient times: clothing, weaving and spinning processes, irrigation system, ancient shipbuilding, internal structure of the pyramids, decoding of hieroglyphs with the Rosetta stone.

In the hall dedicated to the Red Sea, visitors can learn about marine flora and fauna, get acquainted with the description of existing environmental problems. The hall dedicated to the inhabitants of the desert tells about the ways of adaptation of plants and animals to the harsh natural conditions. Also in the museum there are such halls as craft, information, about the human structure.
