Abstract

Mustafa Kamel Museum is one of the most important museums in Cairo, and it was officially opened in April 1956. Previously, a shrine contained the remains of the two leaders, Mustafa Kamel and Mohammad Farid. Then the remains of the national fighters Abd al-Rahman al-Rafai and Fathy Radwan were transferred to it. The museum is built in the Islamic style and has an Islamic dome.
It includes two halls containing some of the leader Mustafa Kamel’s belongings, such as books, handwritten letters, pictures of his friends and relatives, and some of his clothes, dining utensils, and office room. The museum also has oil paintings of the Denshwai incident.
Therefore, this research paper aims to shed light on the museum and its artifacts and suggest a development plan to help it grow and spread awareness.
As a result, it helps to present the struggle of one of Egypt’s heroes against
the English occupation. The study focuses on some of the problems that face
the museum and presents some suggestions that may help the museum develop as
a prelude to putting it on Egypt’s tourist map.
