Mustafa
Kamel
Museum
in
Salah
El-Din
Square
-
the
Citadel
The
museum
was
founded
and
opened
in
April
1956
in
memory
of
leader
Mustafa
Kamel,
but
it
was
stolen
-
the
museum
-
during
the
January
Revolution.
The
state
worked
hard
to
recover
most
of
the
collectibles,
and
it
was
renovated
and
opened
again
to
visitors
in
2016.
The
museum
is
built
in
the
Islamic
style.
It
has
a
small
garden,
and
at
its
entrance
there
is
a
medium-sized
hall
in
which
there
are
the
tombs
of
Mustafa
Kamel,
Muhammad
Farid,
the
writer
Abd
al-Rahman
al-Rafi’i,
and
Fathi
Radwan,
the
first
Minister
of
Culture
in
Egypt.
On
the
right
and
left,
there
are
two
display
halls,
the
first
of
which
contains
collectibles
belonging
to
Mustafa
Kamel,
such
as
many
original
letters
he
wrote
in
his
handwriting
to
his
friends
and
family
during
his
travel
to
Europe,
two
of
his
official
suits,
his
cane,
and
two
statues.
There
are
also
some
pictures
in
this
hall
that
belong
to
Mustafa
Kamel’s
family,
real
pictures
of
Denshawai’s
trial,
and
oil
paintings
representing
the
incident
and
depicting
the
leader
on
his
sick
bed.
On
the
wall
are
two
poems
written
by
Hafez
Ibrahim
and
Ahmed
Shawqi
in
eulogy
for
Mustafa
Kamel.
As
for
the
second
hall,
it
contains
many
photographs
of
Minister
Fathi
Radwan,
some
with
his
family,
some
with
President
Mohamed
Naguib,
and
many
others
in
conferences
and
official
invitations,
in
addition
to
some
photos
from
Mustafa
Kamel’s
funeral.
The
museum
is
very
small,
very
elegant
and
simple.
The
exhibits
are
few,
and
the
visit
can
take
a
quarter
of
an
hour,
assuming
that
you
scrutinize
every
picture
you
see
and
read
every
message
there.
It
is
located
in
Salah
El-Din
Square
in
the
Citadel
District.
Although
there
was
an
employee
who
told
me
that
photography
was
forbidden,
they
-
as
they
were
very
kind
-
allowed
me
to
photograph
when
I
asked
them
to
keep
a
memory
of
the
visit.
Entry
to
the
museum
is
free.
