In the outdoors area of the Military National Museum, a whole wall, about 60 m long is covered with bas relief sculptures. It's one of the rare cases of art influenced by the aesthetics imported from Soviet Union during the Nasser age, when Egypt became very close to the Soviet bloc. It depicts different subjects, most (but not all) military. It represents the power of the "army of the people" and the unbeatable strength of the union of all workers and farmers in the Socialist Egypt.
