During the Egyptian Revolution of 2011, the museum was broken into, and two mummies were reportedly destroyed and several artifacts were also shown to have been damaged. Around 50 objects were lost. Since then 25 objects have been recovered. Those that were restored were put on display in September 2013 in an exhibition entitled Damaged and Restored. Among the displayed artifacts are two statues of King Tutankhamen made of cedar wood and covered with gold, a statue of King Akhenaton, Ushabtis statues that belonged to the Nubian kings, a mummy of a child and a small plychrome glass vase.
