Musicals

Between the early 1930s and early 1960s, Egyptian cinema produced over 300 musicals. Many of these films were box office hits, with singer-actors emerging as Arab idols and their iconic portraits spanning walls and billboards of major Arab cities.

This unique collection includes rare Egyptian musical film posters from featured artists like Mohammed Abdel Wahab, Umm Kulthum, Mohamed Fawzi, Shadia, Sabah, Farid Al- Atrash and Abdel Halim Hafez.
