Am Museion und in der Bibliothek, arbeiteten viele der bedeutendsten Forscher der Antike. Die von ihnen erzielten Fortschritte wurden teilweise erst in der Frühen Neuzeit wieder erreicht. Die ptolemäischen Herrscher förderten die Wissenschaften aus praktischen Erwägungen, aber auch aus Propagandagründen.
