Grand Egyptian museum opening

It is a shame not to take care of 7000 years old civilization of ancient Egypt. It has to be organized in chronological sequence and displayed in most fascinating way ever. The Egyptian tourism ministry took on its shoulder the burden of designing high standard museum in order to showcase more than 100,000 artifacts, 3500 of them belong to the young king Tutankhamen, and that's why an architectural  competition been set in Japan 2002 which was under the supervision of UNESCO and the UIA. The huge legacy of pharaonic heritage is divided all over different sites and need to be shown in one place. Different eras of ancient Egypt monuments and diverse antiques from the ancient kingdom periods will be presented within a single building which aims to emphasize the inherited art from our ancestors. Since art was a denominator of the multiple eras and periods, Egypt has been through, the museum mission is to document and conserve these masterpieces in a place that could be as a reference to our history for visitor from all over the world. Travel to Egypt will make sure to include a visit to the grand Egyptian museum in most of Egypt Tours and Cairo layover tours once it opens. So, stay tuned.

Now, all of the objects will be transferred to the new   Egyptian museum in Giza city with a future vision to be connected directly with the three pyramids site to decrease the traffic and make it easier for the tourists to visit both sites without spending too much time. It will be like an amazing huge gallery for the ancient Egyptian civilization.
