Nubian Museum

UNESCO's assistance in coordinating the logistical matters of funding and governmental affairs explains the museum's financing, development, and ultimate result.

[1] To this day, UNESCO and the executive board governing operations within the Nubian Museum continue to work towards the overarching goal of creating a space to appreciate the cultural heritage of ancient Nubia while preserving artifacts and practicing standard procedures of conservation on existing archeological sites throughout the region.

The largest part of the museum is occupied by the monumental pieces, reflecting phases of the development of Nubian culture and civilization.

Three thousand pieces of Egyptian antiquities, representing various ages; Geological, Pharaonic, Roman, Coptic and Islamic, were registered.

The Museum is built on a steep cliff, which enables it to embody a full scale design for the Nile river from its origins in Ethiopia and Sudan to Egypt.

Educational outreach brings in local students in an effort to encourage children to learn about research processes and ancient Nubian history.
