Cairo Agricultural Museum

　　Agriculture has played a crucial role in Egypt’s historical development, profoundly impacting the lives of Egyptians throughout the ages. The saying “Egypt is the gift of the Nile” reflects, to some extent, the outstanding contribution of the Nile to Egypt. Precisely because of the importance of agriculture, the Agricultural Museum came into being in the 1930s.

　　The Agricultural Museum was established during the reign of King Farouk of Egypt and opened to the public in 1938, making it the world’s first agricultural museum. The museum was founded with two purposes: to provide knowledge and information related to agricultural development, and to document Egypt’s agricultural history and culture from ancient times to the present. The museum is divided into 10 exhibition halls, displaying a large number of photos, farming tools, crops, fruits and vegetables, pastries, flour cakes, animals, and more. Different types of bread eaten by people in various regions of Egypt are also exhibited, along with the machines used to make them. In addition, there are maps and statistical data on the development of agriculture in Egypt.

　　The museum also displays items related to farmers' lives, detailing the steps of weaving and dyeing, and showcasing various utensils used by people in different eras.
