Museums
Designed by Heneghan Peng Architects, the Grand Egyptian Museum echoes the timeless grandeur of Egypt's iconic pyramids, with a stone exterior that blends into the surrounding landscape. Made from locally sourced alabaster, the triangular openings in the museum's exterior change from day to night, evoking the surrounding sandy terrain. The museum is defined by three visual axes, each of which echoes the pyramids in the background. Additionally, the three axes divide the museum into distinct zones, inviting visitors to embark on a journey through Egypt's history. The Grand Courtyard, located at the heart of the museum, is the permanent exhibition space. The museum houses a large number of rare and important artifacts from Egyptian history, including about 5,000 funerary objects of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. The museum covers an area of 480,000 square meters and has an exhibition space of 24,000 square meters, which is almost the size of four football fields. In addition to the rich exhibits, the museum also has a children's museum, a large conference center and educational facilities, providing visitors with a comprehensive cultural experience. The Grand Egyptian Museum is not only a place to showcase ancient Egyptian civilization, but also a bridge connecting the modern world with ancient Egyptian civilization.
