In 1835, Mohammed Ali Pasha, the Ottoman Governor of Egypt, issued a decree whereby any antiquities found by individuals should be handed over to one Rafa Al Tahtawy, an Egyptian scholar and Dean of a Cairo school.
This step, in turn, led the setting up of the Antiquities service and a new Egyptian museum located in Cairo, in 1835. Various buildings and locations were utilized over the years until a purpose-built building was opened in 1902, the Egyptian Museum near Tahrir Square, Cairo.
