Detail InformationEdit

Ahmed Shawki Museum is a museum is located on the Nile Corniche, Giza part of Cairo, Egypt. The museum is noted for its bronze statues. In the garden, there is a large statue of the poet, created by late Egyptian sculptor Gamal El Seguini. The statue was erected in a ceremony marking the 50th anniversary of the poet’s death. It is however a replica, as the Italian Government ordered in 1962 that it be erected in the Bourgese Park, Rome, alongside the statues of other World artistic figures. The ceremony was attended by the Egyptian and Italian Ministers of Culture, the Mayor of Rome, and many Arab artists, poets, and writers. There are also bronze statues of torch-bearing cherubic messengers. The torches represent enlightenment.
On the ground floor is the Mohammed Abdel Wahab Suite which comprises Ahmed shawki’s library with 332 books and valuable draft manuscripts of poems hand-written by the poet on plain paper. There is also work related to singer and composer Mohammed Abdel Wahhab who was introduced to art by Shawqi and once practised and performed for Ahmed Shawki. There is a high-quality audio library in the museum containing such recordings.
