In a side street opening off the wide treelined Sharia el-Horreya we find the important Graeco-Roman Museum. Most of its collection comes from Alexandria itself, mainly from tombs ranging in date between 300 B.C. and A.D. 300.
The museum began in 1892 and features 27 halls filled with Greek and Roman art and artifacts.
