The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is a museum located near the Giza Necropolis in Egypt. It is the largest archaeological museum in the world and is being developed by the Supreme Council of Antiquities. The GEM is being built to showcase the ancient artifacts and monuments of the Egyptian civilization. The GEM will be the largest archaeological museum in the world, with an area of about 485,000 square meters. The museum will house over 100,000 artifacts from ancient Egypt, including the treasures of King Tutankhamen. It is also intended to be an educational center and an international research center.




Description :

The GEM is being built on a site near the Giza Necropolis, close to the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx. The museum is being designed by a team of Egyptian and international architects, engineers, and other professionals. The design of the museum is based on the idea of a “cultural oasis,” a place of refuge and reflection. The GEM will have several exhibition galleries, which will display a variety of artifacts and monuments from ancient Egypt. These galleries will include the Tomb of Tutankhamen, the Great Pyramids, and the Sphinx. The museum will also have an interactive zone and a 3D cinema. The museum is expected to open in 2021. Once completed, it will be a major tourist attraction, drawing visitors from all over the world. It will also be an important educational center for students and scholars, and a research center for archaeologists and historians. The GEM is a major project for Egypt and will help to preserve the country’s ancient artifacts and monuments, and promote its cultural heritage. It is an exciting undertaking and will be a great asset to Egypt, providing an unparalleled opportunity to explore the wealth of knowledge of the ancient Egyptians.
