Grand Egyptian Museum
Grand Egyptian Museum, Archaeological museum in Giza, Egypt
The Grand Egyptian Museum spans 117 acres near the Giza pyramids and contains more than 100,000 artifacts from Ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman periods.
The construction project began in 2002 when Egyptian authorities laid the foundation stone, following an international architectural competition won by Heneghan Peng Architects.
The museum features extensive collections of Egyptian antiquities, including the complete collection of Tutankhamun artifacts displayed together for the first time since their discovery.
The museum complex operates daily from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with exhibition halls open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and final ticket sales at 4:00 PM.
The museum building incorporates triangular patterns reflecting pyramid shapes into its structure, establishing a visual connection with the ancient monuments visible from its location.
