(Translated by Google) Mahmoud Mokhtar (May 10, 1891 - March 28, 1934) is one of the few leading artists in sculpture and owner of the famous Renaissance statue of Egypt and has a museum with its name to date. It is a museum of artist Mahmoud Mokhtar. Mahmoud Mukhtar grew up in the areas of Mahalla al-Kubra and specifically in the village of Tanbara. His father, Ibrahim al-Issawi, was the mayor of the village but Mukhtar lived with his grandmother in his uncle's house in Manshah village in Mansoura. In the mud he saw the views around him in the village. Mahmoud Mukhtar was born in Cairo in 1902 and lived in the old neighborhood. The school of Fine Arts was opened nearby. In 1908, the "Jamil Path" was the entrance of the boy to an unexpected future after he joined the first batch, at the age of 17. A bright choice for the foreign professors, which led them to dedicate a "special studio" within the school building, to prepare sculptures of statues, shapes and restore the scenes of the countryside, and the features of the neighborhood comrades. His talent also pushed the school's patron, Prince Yusuf Kamal, to send the boy to Paris to study there. Just as Michael Angelo grew up under the patronage of the Florentine Prince Lorenzo de Medici, Mahmoud Mukhtar grew up in the care of the Egyptian prince Yusuf Kamal. Mokhtar received his first art lessons at the school attached to Prince Yusuf Kamal Bey's palace Mahmoud Mokhtar contributed to the establishment of the School of Fine Arts and participated in several exhibitions outside the works of art was a great success and set up a special exhibition for his work in Paris in 1930 and that was a reason to introduce the modern Egyptian school in art and recorded birth in front of Critics of international art. The pioneer artist lived a wide life full of stories of success, excellence and conflict in order to put the sculpture in the highest position of society, which was opposed to the manufacture of statues and considered an extension of the industry of idols. The artist developed his talent in the service of the national movement, expressing his views on the social and political stage he experienced: the Renaissance and the search for the local character in the wake of the 1919 revolution. His art received the respect and appreciation of the French official circles in the artistic field, and at the same time gained enthusiastic support from the Egyptian public Which ignited this national revolution. Mokhtar was the first artist to exhibit art at an international exhibition in Paris. He was also the first Egyptian artist to win a prize from the Paris Salon, surpassing its artists. He won the gold medal of the annual French artists' exhibition at the Grand Serail (Grand Palais) . Which he then executed carved in a pink granite stone to be held in the largest areas of Cairo. He won a prize from the Paris Salon in 1925 for his statue of Am Kulthum. He was the first Arab artist to hold a personal exhibition of his sculptures in Paris. His works represent the starting point of the modern sculpture movement, not only in Egypt but in all the Arab countries. This is because he achieved in his short life a wide fame and won a public honor that was not won by any other Egyptian artist, either in his life or after his death. The only artist received by the demonstrations welcome Alexandria when he returned to Egypt from Europe to erect a statue to commemorate the national revolution after the statues of the fields only depicting the kings and leaders of individuals .. The farmers donated their money and loans to cover the expenses of the establishment of this statue. After the end of the World War (1914-1918), the vow of revolution began to gather against English colonialism in Egypt under three slogans: independence, justice and the constitution. The Wafd Party, led by Saad Zaghloul, began to form its secret organization, the Black Hand. Mahmoud Mokhtar sculpted the representative of the Egyptian popular leader Saad Zaghloul in Cairo and Alexandria between 1930 and 1932 (Original) محمود مختار (10 مايو 1891 - 28 مارس 1934)، أحد الفنانين الرواد القلائل في فن النحت وصاحب تمثال نهضة مصر الشهير وله متحف باسمه قائم إلى الآن، متحف الفنان محمود مختار الذي يعد قبلة لدارسي الفنون في مصر وشاهد على فترة تاريخية وسياسية هامة. نشأ محمود مختار في نواحي مدينة المحلة الكبرى وتحديدا بقرية طنباره ،ووالده " إبراهيم العيساوي " كان عمدة القرية لكن مختار عاش مع جدته لأمه في بيت خاله في قرية نشا في المنصورة.، وعرف عنه انه عندما كان طفل صغير كان يقضى معظم وقته بجوار الترعة يشكل في الطين مناظر كان يراها حوله في القرية. قدم محمود مختار إلي القاهرة عام1902 وعاش في أحيائها القديمة، والتي على مقربة منه افتتحت مدرسة الفنون الجميلة، أما "درب الجماميز" عام 1908، فكانت مدخل الصبي إلى مستقبل غير متوقع، بعد أن التحق بصف أول دفعة، وهو في السابعة عشرة من عمره. بدت موهبة مختار ساطعة للأساتذة الأجانب، مما حدا بهم إلى تخصيص "مرسم خاص" له، ضمن مبنى المدرسة، لإعداد منحوتاته بها ، من تماثيل، وأشكال تستعيد مشاهد الريف، وملامح رفاق الحي. موهبته أيضاً دفعت راعى المدرسة، الأمير يوسف كمال، إلى أن يبعث الصبي، إلى باريس، كي يتم دراسته هناك. ومثلما نشأ مايكل انجيلو في رعاية الأمير الفلورنسي لورنزو دي مديتشي، فقد نشأ محمود مختار في رعاية الأمير المصري يوسف كمال. وتلقى مختار أول الدروس في الفن في المدرسة الملحقة بقصر الأمير يوسف كمال بك ساهم محمود مختار في إنشاء مدرسة الفنون الجميلة العليا وكما شارك في إيفاد البعثات الفنية للخارج، كما اشترك في عدة معارض خارجية بأعمال فنية لاقت نجاحا عظيما وأقام معرضا خاصا لأعماله في باريس عام 1930 وكان ذلك المعرض سبباً في التعريف بالمدرسة المصرية الحديثة في الفن وسجلت مولدها أمام نقاد الفن العالميين. عاش الفنان الرائد حياة عريضة مملوءة بقصص النجاح والتفوق والصراع من اجل وضع فن النحت في أعلى مكانة من المجتمع الذي كان يعادى صناعة التماثيل ويعتبرها امتداداً لصناعة الأصنام. وقد وضع الفنان موهبته في خدمة الحركة الوطنية معبراً بتماثيله عن المرحلة الاجتماعية والسياسية التي عاشها: مرحلة النهضة والبحث عن الشخصية المحلية في أعقاب ثورة 1919. ولقد حظي فنه باحترام وتقدير الأوساط الفرنسية الرسمية في المجال الفني، واكتسب في نفس الوقت تأييداً حماسياً من جماهير الشعب المصري التي أشعلت هذه الثورة الوطنية. قد كان مختار أول فنان يعرض عملاً فنياً في معرض عالمي بباريس، كما كان أول فنان مصري يكسب جائزة من صالون باريس متفوقاً على فنانيها، فقد نال الميدالية الذهبية لمعرض الفنانين الفرنسيين السنوي الذي يقام في السراي الكبرى (جراند باليه) عن نموذجه المصغر لتمثال نهضة مصر. الذي نفذه بعد ذلك منحوتاً في حجر الجرانيت الوردي ليقام في أكبر ميادين القاهرة. كما فاز بجائزة من معرض صالون باريس عام 1925 عن تمثاله "لأم كلثوم".. وكان أول فنان عربي يقيم معرضاً شخصياً لتماثيله في باريس. وتمثل أعماله نقطة البداية الرائعة لحركة فن النحت الحديث، ليس في مصر وحدها ة لكن في البلاد العربية كلها.. ذلك لأنه حقق في حياته القصيرة شهرة واسعة وحظي بتكريم جماهيري لم يفز به أي فنان مصري آخر، سواء في حياته أو بعد وفاته.. فهو الفنان الوحيد الذي استقبلته مظاهرات الترحيب بالإسكندرية عند عودته إلى مصر من أوروبا ليقيم تمثالاً يخلد ثورتها الوطنية بعد أن كانت تماثيل الميادين لا تصور سوى الملوك والقادة من الأفراد.. وقد تبرع الفلاحون بملاليمهم وقروشهم لتغطية نفقات إقامة هذا التمثال. فبعد انتهاء الحرب العالمية (1914-1918) بدأت تتجمع نذر الثورة على الاستعمار الإنجليزي في مصر تحت شعارات ثلاث: الاستقلال والعدالة والدستور.. وبدأ يتكون حزب الوفد بزعامة سعد زغلول، وكان للحزب تنظيمه السري الذي أطلق على نفسه اسم "اليد السوداء". نحت محمود مختار تمثالي الزعيم المصري الشعبي سعد زغلول بالقاهرة والإسكندرية في الفترة ما بين عامي 1930-1932

Contains statues made by the famous Egyptian sculptor Mahmoud Mokhtar... his art documents an important era of the Egyptian history.

Mahmoud Mukhtar is of course one of the big names in Egyptian art, that's why this place is not only important for his legacy, it's also important for hosting many artistic events, festivals and galleries (here are some photos from Cairo Comix 8) I also love the location of this museum facing the opera house.

(Translated by Google) A sweet experience (Original) تجربه حلوه

Mahmoud Mokhtar Museum, one of the unique museums in Cairo fir art lovers, although it is small but has a the most wonderful sculpture work of the great Mahmoud Mokhtar. The lighting focused on the pieces need to be stronger, and a brochure needed for the life of this great Artist, it surely needs more attention. The grave of Mahmoud Mokhtar lays inside the museum.

I just turned up (Mon 28th Feb 2022) and the museum is closed. It would be a good courtesy to your visitors who have travelled from far away / abroad to update your Google Maps opening hours to avoid wasting people's time.

Well, it was not the museum but a comic exposition on the museums yard.

The museum beautifully showcases the works of sculptor Mahmoud Mukhtar. I found his work impressive and graceful. The layout and organization of the museum is appropriate. Please follow the rules while you are there and do not touch the works! Best to leave raucous children at home.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful and great artistic value (Original) جميل جدا وقيمه فنيه كبيره

Light museum with some of the artist's carving works and statues and has an separate exhibition hall

(Translated by Google) Super cool sculptures (Original) منحوتات أكثر من رائعة

Artistic place

So sorry I have to give just 1 star to a museum in the city of Cairo, which I love so much. This is my case: I have carefully planned every hour of my short holiday and checked and double checked in advance, on site. After the Khalil museum visit (lovely, highly recommended) I specially asked, while it was 14:30, Mahmoud Mukhtar museum staff by the entrance, if they are indeed open until 17:00, as displayed on the website and google maps. Moreover I asked if it is OK to come at 16:00 on the dot, to have just under an hour before closure for this museum visit. Mahmoud Mukhtar Museum staff replied yes sure, do come at 16:00 today, you will have an hour, enough time! My wife and I specially came in good time, at 15:50. The museum gate was closed and the security said all staff had left and locked the museum. For us, since our departure flight is Saturday and Friday is a day off for all museums, that means never seeing this culture highlight. May I express my deepest dissatisfaction with the extremely unprofessional attitude of museum staff. I go along with the comment from Nick B of 28 February 2022: it appears that this museum's staff have no consideration for the visitors, depriving them of an important part of Egyptian culture, simply because at no notice museum staff suddenly decided to have a shorter working day. My greatest and most negative culture shock ever.

I would not believe such priceless statuses​ are present in modern egypt.

Very nice museum 🎨👍🏻😊

The museums have some unique sculptures yet it need massive renovations for the Lighting ,decorations and most importantly air conditioning since egypt is a girlie hot country , additional to that we received information while ensuring that the place is infested with rats . Which isn’t pleasant for the experience overall

Amazing collection for a great artist. But so expect the Egyptian public sector lame-ness

Small and organized by sections to give you a chance to understand and enjoy similar statutes side by side , his tomb located inside the museum , he was one of the most important and talented sculptors in Egypt and his sculpture work is unique , the place is cozy i highly recommend it .

It was a comics festival something, and I felt way left out, but I did enjoyed the visit, need to get off my chair more often.

Definetly needs more maintenance and renovations but it is still a hidden gem amongst museums

It was a great experience to see many art pieces .
