Abstract
The Graeco-Roman Museum in Alexandria, Egypt, established in 1892, showcases artifacts from the Greek and Roman periods. After a major renovation from 2005 to 2015, the museum expanded with new upper floors, modern displays, and improved curatorial methods that highlight the Hellenistic to Roman eras. A key feature is the Gypsoteca Hall, which displays plaster casts of famous classical sculptures, such as the Aphrodite of Cyrene and Nike Adjusting Her Sandal, sourced from museums across Europe and North Africa. These casts allow visitors to experience important artworks otherwise unavailable, supporting art education, research, and cultural preservation. The hall promotes international collaboration and provides a valuable learning space, making classical art more accessible and enriching Alexandria’s cultural scene.
