Introduction
Time changes, societies alter, and history runs its course; but no matter how much we come to depend on technology as the mainstay of our age - indeed, no matter how our economy changes, with companies that transcend nationalities and continents, no matter how small the world becomes, art museums will remain the living measure of civilization, the heartbeat of a culture , the soil in which the seeds of the future take root and flourish.

It is in recognition of this fact that the Ministry of Culture holds the Museum of Modern Egyptian Art in such high esteem; we are committed to developing it and have great ambitions for it. Through its treasures, we show our great pride in the artists who have played such an unforgettable role in our culture throughout the twentieth century, up to the start of the third millennium.
