The [[Alexandria National Museum]] was inaugurated 31 December 2003. It is located in a restored Italian style palace in Tariq El Horreya Street (formerly Rue Fouad), near the centre of the city. It contains about 1,800 artifacts that narrate the story of Alexandria and [[Egypt]]. Most of these pieces came from other Egyptian museums.{{Citation needed|date=July 2023}} The museum is housed in the old Al-Saad Bassili Pasha Palace, who was one of the wealthiest wood merchants in Alexandria. Construction on the site was first undertaken in 1926.{{Citation needed|date=July 2023}}

The [[Graeco-Roman Museum]] was the city's main archeological museum, focused on artifacts from its Greco-Roman period. It was opened in 1892 and was closed in 2005 for extensive renovations and expansion.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Marie |first=Mustafa |date=28 June 2022 |title=Development works in Alexandria's Greco-Roman Museum almost complete |url=https://www.egypttoday.com/Article/4/117224/Development-works-in-Alexandria’s-Greco-Roman-Museum-almost-complete |access-date=2023-07-05 |website=EgyptToday}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Kampouris |first=Nick |date=4 March 2019 |title=Alexandria's "Graeco-Roman Museum" Set to Reopen After Years of Renovation |url=https://greekreporter.com/2019/03/04/alexandrias-graeco-roman-museum-set-to-reopen-after-years-of-renovation/ |access-date=5 July 2023 |website=Greek Reporter}}</ref> The museum re-opened to the public in October 2023.<ref>{{Cite web |date=14 Oct 2023 |title=Egypt Today: "After 18 years of restoration, Alexandria's Graeco-Roman Museum is finally re-opened." |url=https://www.egypttoday.com/Article/4/127683/After-18-years-of-restoration-Alexandria-s-Graeco-Roman-Museum}}</ref>
