Greco-Roman Museum, Alexandria

Founded in 1892, the excellent Greco-Roman Museum in Alexandria displays a vast collection of fascinating finds from the city and surrounding region. Housed behind a Neo-Classical facade bearing the Greek inscription MOYXEION (mouseion) are 27 halls of exhibits, primarily classical statues and sarcophagi, and an attractive garden.

See the Serapeum article for some photos of finds related to the great Alexandria temple.
