The museum, he continued, is also located in Kafr El-Sheikh governorate, the home of the town of Fuwa known for its distinguished and rich Islamic art edifices.

The inauguration was attended by Marzouk’s grand-daughter, Heva Abdel Aziz who is a professor of heritage site management at the German University for Technology in Amman.
