Two joined Ottoman houses beside Ibn Tulun, frozen as a collector's Orientalist dream.
Formed from two adjoining houses of the 16th and 17th centuries next to the Ibn Tulun mosque, the museum takes its name from British officer John Gayer-Anderson, who restored and furnished them in the 1930s and 40s. Filled with Islamic and Pharaonic art, its rooftop and secret passages featured in a James Bond film.
