A weathered diamond-shaped directional sign reading 'Anderson Museum' stands in an open gravel courtyard beside the massive stone walls of a Mamluk-era building in Old Cairo (Al-Qahira Al-Islamiyya). The surrounding architecture features crenellated rooflines, decorative brick banding, and traditional mashrabiya (wooden lattice) window details typical of Islamic Cairo. The Gayer-Anderson Museum, also known as Beit Al-Kritliyya, is a preserved 17th-century house adjacent to the Ibn Tulun Mosque, now a state-run museum displaying Islamic art and antiques collected by British officer Major R.G. Gayer-Anderson.
