The Gayer-Anderson Museum is a distinguished art facility situated in Cairo, Egypt. It is located beside the Mosque of Ahmad ibn Tulun and its name was derived from Major R. G. Gayer-Anderson Pasha who stayed in the compound between 1935 and 1942 after seeking special permission from the Egyptian authorities. The museum is known by many as one of the most well-preserved pieces of 17th-century domestic architecture left in Cairo and for its extensive collection of artefacts, carpets and furniture. There are many apartments within the museum but it is mainly divided into two halves - the Haramlik or family residence and the Salamlik or guest house. Take a walk through the various apartments and admire the lavish décor in all of them. You might even end up wishing that you could take up residency here too after seeing the extravagance in each of the apartments scattered throughout the museum. But don’t just stop there. Take a stroll through the shared courtyard and go up to the roof garden to see a delightful expanse of green surrounding you. Just like an oasis in the middle of the desert, this garden is a welcome change of colour after observing similar drab buildings throughout Cairo. If you are an avid student of ancient Egypt, then perhaps you might want to visit the ancient Egyptian room here as well. With its unique architectural design and artifacts, the room is modelled after that of ancient Egyptian nobility. If just touring the building and getting awestruck by the exhibits here is not enough for you, then perhaps you’d be interested to learn that this was the site where Moses spoke to God. Maybe if you look closely enough, you might find ashes from the burning bush.
