Grand Egyptian Museum

ArtHistoryOpen until 6pmFrom £1590Great Pyramids of Giza (2 km)

El Grand Egyptian Museum és un museu arqueològic monumental situat a Guiza, a uns 2 quilòmetres de les Grans Piràmides. Amb una superfície de 872.000 peus quadrats distribuïts en 12 galeries, exhibeix les peces de manera cronològica i temàtica al llarg de tota la història de l'Egipte antic. La peça central és la col·lecció completa de Tutankamon, amb 5.000 objectes —reunits en un mateix espai per primera vegada des que la tomba del faraó es va obrir el 1922—, entre els quals destaca l'emblemàtica màscara funerària d'or. Els visitants pugen per una gran escalinata flanquejada per estàtues monumentals fins a uns finestrals de terra a sostre que emmarquen les piràmides. El complex també allotja les barques solars reconstruïdes de Khufu, un centre de congressos i jardins. Dissenyat per Heneghan Peng Architects, va trigar més de dues dècades a fer-se realitat abans de la seva inauguració completa l'1 de novembre de 2025.
