The French scientist (Maspero) played an important role in the establishment of the museum, as he worked on collecting Coptic art works and allocating a hall for them in the Egyptian Museum. Then, in 1893 AD, Marcus Pasha Samika called for the collection of the Coptic Antiquities to be included in the interests of the Committee for the Preservation of Antiquities and Arts. This man struggled for a long time to build the existing building of the museum, which opened in 1910 and was appointed its first director. The first museum guide was published in 1930.
