The New Home of Tutankhamun: The Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza

The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) holds in trust for Egypt and the world a chronological statement for the ancient story of Egypt over the past 7000 years of history. Neighboring a timeless wonder, the Giza Pyramids, the new museum is to pay homage to eternal ancient Egyptian history, monuments, and treasures and hosting over 100,000 artifacts, around 5000 of which belong to the golden Pharaoh Tutankhamun. The project is conceived as an integration of a complex of museums and facilities capable of offering both educational and recreational opportunities.
