The Mahmoud Said Museum in Alexandria, Egypt, is set to host a closing ceremony and showcase the results of a workshop on the basics of theatrical acting. The event, taking place on September 24, 2026, at 7:00 PM, will feature two consecutive theatrical performances directed by Mohamed Adly. The event is organized under the auspices of Dr. Mahmoud Hamad, head of the Fine Arts Sector, and supervised by the Central Administration of Museums.
The first performance, "Journey to Tomorrow," is written by Mohamed Abdallah, with dynamic drama by Yara Sefan, musical preparation by Ahmed Adel, and art screen by Shahenda Al-Shorbaji. This will be followed by the second performance, "Qaleel Al-Bakht," written by Maysara Salah El-Din, with poetry and decoration by Dr. Mohamed Abd El-Salam, music and melodies by Magdy Al-Khatib, and revue design by Ahmed Amiko.
The museum has extended an open invitation to all theater and art enthusiasts to attend the performances, emphasizing that entry is free for everyone.

The performances will take place on the stage of the Museum of Fine Arts.
In a related context, the Fine Arts Sector has announced the opening of applications for the new session of the "Salon of Small Artworks." This event, established in 1997 by artist Dr. Ahmed Nawar, aims to host creative experiments that prove that the greatness of art is not measured by its size. The new session's main theme is "The Twin of Music and Form... Between the Ear and the Eye."
The "Salon of Small Artworks" has, over its successive sessions, provided diverse artistic experiments and supported the presence of artists in the Egyptian art scene. The event focuses on works within a standardized size of 20x20 cm. Dr. Ahmed Ragab Saqr has been assigned as the general commissioner for the new session.
The Fine Arts Sector, led by Dr. Mahmoud Hamad, continues to support and promote artistic and cultural activities in Egypt. The Mahmoud Said Museum, under the supervision of the Central Administration of Museums, plays a significant role in fostering artistic talents and encouraging cultural development.
