The museum will be open daily from nine am to three pm for a period of two weeks, with free access for both Egyptians and foreigners.
The aim is to introduce the public to the museum and evaluate the experience in preparation for the official opening phase.
In televised remarks, Saada confirmed that the museum serves as an educational and cultural center that documents the history of agriculture in Egypt through the ages.
It also houses a specialized library that contains rare original books, serving as an important reference for researchers in the fields of agriculture and veterinary medicine, he added.
He pointed out that the Agricultural Museum is one of the most prominent specialized cultural landmarks in Egypt and globally, featuring eight internal museums. This reflects the museum’s vast cultural and intellectual diversity offered to visitors.
Regarding development works, Saada explained that cooperation with UNESCO is still ongoing.
He noted that the museum’s restoration was carried out in collaboration with the Ministry of Antiquities.
He added a mission from UNESCO visited the museum during the restoration process, and the organization is expected to participate in the grand official opening.
