The Grand Egyptian Museum is a monumental archaeological museum in Giza, situated approximately 2 kilometres from the Great Pyramids. Spanning 872,000 square feet across 12 galleries, it displays artifacts chronologically and thematically across the full span of ancient Egyptian history. The centrepiece is the complete 5,000-piece Tutankhamun collection — reunited in one place for the first time since the pharaoh's tomb was opened in 1922 — including the iconic gold death mask. Visitors ascend a grand staircase flanked by monumental statues toward floor-to-ceiling windows framing the Pyramids. The complex also houses Khufu's reconstructed solar barques, a conference centre, and gardens. Designed by Heneghan Peng Architects, it was over two decades in the making before its full inauguration on 1 November 2025.
