An ancient church in the Coptic Monastery of St. Antony at the Red Sea contains a unique cycle of thirteenth century Coptic wall paintings. They constitute the most complete and best preserved iconographic program of Christian paintings to come from medieval Egypt.

The primary conservation program by ARCE at St. Antony's Monastery was conducted between 1996-1999. Since then, work has been ongoing to help the monastery develop a registrar database and exhibit liturgical artifacts in a new museum on-site.
