Spotted in the papers today! After more than two decades in the making, Egypt has officially opened the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) beside the Giza Pyramids — the largest museum in the world dedicated to a single civilisation!
Visitors are greeted by a colossal 11-metre statue of Ramses II, leading into vast galleries that house more than 50,000 ancient artefacts, from early pharaohs to the Roman period. For the first time ever, the complete treasures of Tutankhamun, including his legendary gold mask and chariots, are displayed together under one roof.
The £1 billion cultural landmark marks a new era for Egypt, promising to boost tourism and celebrate a civilisation that continues to inspire the world. With breathtaking architecture and direct views of the pyramids, it’s set to become one of the most extraordinary museum experiences on Earth.
