With borrowed artifacts, photographs, and personal stories, Jews of Egypt provides insight into the contributions of Jewish groups to Egypt's cultural, economic, and political life.
The Jews of Egypt is divided into four chronological themes, from the medieval Fustat—Egypt's first capital—through the golden years of the 19th and 20th centuries, to the expulsion of most of the country's Jews during the 1950s and 1960s.
Through various personal artifacts, documents, and films, visitors gain insight into the successes, hopes, losses, and sorrows of Jewish families. Today, more and more people are becoming interested in the Egyptian-Jewish cultural heritage and its future.
