After more than two decades of development, the Grand Egyptian Museum has officially opened on Egypt’s Giza Plateau.
Designed by Heneghan Peng Architects, the huge complex brings together over 100,000 artefacts, including the complete Tutankhamun collection displayed in one place for the first time. The museum’s centrepiece, the Grand Staircase, rises through the structure’s halls and is lined with ancient statues, framing views of the pyramids beyond.
Easily one of the most significant museum openings of this century, the building is likely to redefine how the world experiences one of history’s greatest civilisations.
