The Graeco-Roman Museum of Alexandria, with an extraordinary collection and a history of almost 120
years, remains one of the most important museums within the wider region of the Mediterranean. Situated in the
heart of modern Alexandria, it became her ‘inner sanctum’, preserving the spirit of the glorious past. This series
is a nostalgic homage to that museum (1892-2005) and its extraordinary collection, before we welcome the
renovated Graeco-Roman Museum. It is hoped that these illustrations will enable the general public to be carried
back in time on a nostalgic journey which captures the spirit of the Graeco-Roman Museum as it was lovingly
founded by Giuseppe Botti and Evaristo Breccia, nurtured in its youth by Achille Adriani, all of whom fostered a
museological environment appropriate for the legendary city of Alexandria, an environment congruent with the
city’s literary ambiance of E.M. Forster, Constantine Cavafy and Lawrence Durrell. At the same time we would
like to offer a useful thematic tool for researchers and lovers of ancient art.
