This hall houses architectural elements of the old western graveyard of Alexandria, called by the historian Strabo at the end of the 1st century BC the expression of "Necropolis". It is distinguished with colorful designs and paintings. Also, on display in this hall we find the threshold of the old Sirabuim temple with its exquisite embossed carvings. One of the most important masterpieces on display is the huge bulk in the middle of the hall which is taken from a tomb discovered in Al Wardian area at the western graveyard.
