Qasr Al-Eini Museum
The Qasr Al-Eini Museum is a historical medical museum in Cairo, Egypt.
The museum covers the history of medicine in the Arabic Mashriq region of the Levant, and the historical role played by the Qasr Al-Eini School of Medicine as a linkage between medicine in pharaonic Egypt and modern medicine.[1]
A surgeon gynecologist and obstetrician named Dr. Mohammed Almenawi was the general secretary of the Faculty of Medicine. He came up with the idea of the Qasr Al-Eini Museum in 1976.[2]
The library of the museum holds the following artifacts:
- rare books, references, documents, manuscripts, photographic pictures, and statues
- an encyclopedia on The Wise Men of Qasr Al-Eini or the biographies of 154 professors who lectured in Qasr Al-Eini
- an original copy of the book Description de l'Egypte[2]
It is the first museum of an Arab University of Medicine, the Kasr El Aini Hospital, and represents the oldest University of Medicine in the Orient, the Qasr Al-Eini School of Medicine. The Qasr Al-Eini Museum's first phase of building opened in 1998, and a further section opened in 1999.[1]
