The Republican Palace Museum (Arabic: متحف القصر الجمهوري, romanized: mut'ḥaf al-qaṣr al-jumhūriyy) is an important museum in Khartoum, Sudan, and contains historical collections dating back to Turco-Egyptian Sudan. The museum is part of the Republican Palace complex, the seat of government in Sudan during successive periods of modern Sudan's history. The museum was a cathedral that was opened in 1912 and closed in 1971 to be repurposed and opened to the public as a museum on 31 December 1999.
