Ramses Wissa Wassef Art Centre

Started in the early 1950s, the Wissa Wassef Center is a weaving school and art museum in Giza, near the pyramids. The purpose of the center was to ensure that traditional handicraft skills are passed down to succeeding generations of Egyptian villagers in a rapidly industrializing country. The center has art shows throughout the year and gives you an opportunity to buy some tapestry work done by artists from the community.
