Egyptian Hall Museum was a magic museum owned by David Livingston Price, Jr.

In 1953 Price purchased the contents of W.W. Durbin's Egyptian Hall in Kenton, Ohio, which Durbin had decorated with photographs of magicians (starting in 1895). That collection became the nucleus of the Egyptian Hall Museum which was moved to Nashville, Tennessee.

After David's death, his son, Dave Price III, a circus enthusiast and former magician took over the museum and eventually sold most of the contents to Mike Caveney and George Daily. Caveney retained the rights to the Egyptian Hall Museum name.
