Grand Egyptian Museum

The Grand Egyptian Museum, also known as the GEM, is a world-class museum currently under construction in Giza, Egypt. It is being built near the Giza Pyramids and is expected to become one of the largest archaeological museums in the world.
 

The idea for the Grand Egyptian Museum originated in 1992, with the aim of creating a state-of-the-art facility that would house and showcase Egypt's vast collection of ancient artifacts. The museum is designed to provide a comprehensive and immersive experience, allowing visitors to explore the rich history and culture of ancient Egypt.

Once completed, the Grand Egyptian Museum will cover an area of approximately 480,000 square meters, making it one of the largest museums in the world. It will feature exhibition halls, galleries, educational facilities, research centers, and conservation laboratories.
 

The museum will house over 100,000 artifacts, including many of Egypt's most famous treasures, such as the belongings of King Tutankhamun. The centerpiece of the museum will be the complete collection from Tutankhamun's tomb, including his iconic golden mask.
 

In addition to the Tutankhamun collection, the museum will display a wide range of artifacts from different periods of ancient Egyptian history, spanning thousands of years. These artifacts will be presented in a thematic and chronological manner, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of Egypt's rich cultural heritage.

The Grand Egyptian Museum will also feature advanced technology and interactive displays to enhance the visitor experience. Virtual reality, multimedia presentations, and immersive exhibits will help bring ancient Egypt to life, making it a truly engaging and educational museum.
 

The museum is not only focused on exhibiting artifacts but also on research, conservation, and education. It will provide facilities for archaeological research and offer educational programs for both locals and international visitors.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is expected to open to the public in 2021. It is anticipated to become a major cultural and tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world to experience the wonders of ancient Egypt in a modern and immersive setting
