Grand Egyptian Museum Gizan dagoen museo arkeologiko monumentala da, Piramide Handietatik 2 kilometro ingurura. 872.000 metro koadro hartzen ditu 12 galeriatan banatuta, eta antzinako Egiptoko historia osoa hartzen du, piezak kronologikoki eta gaika erakusten dituela. Bihotzean, Tutankhamonen 5.000 piezako bilduma osoa dago — 1922an faraoiaren hilobia ireki zenetik lehen aldiz leku bakar batean bildurik — urrezko heriotza-maskara ikonikoa barne. Bisitariek eskailera nagusi bat igotzen dute, estatua monumentalek alboetan lagunduta, lurretik sabairaino iristen diren leihoetara, Piramideak markatzen dituztenak. Konplexuak, gainera, Khuferen berreraikitako eguzki-baraskak, kongresu-zentro bat eta lorategiak biltzen ditu. Heneghan Peng Architects-ek diseinatua, bi hamarkada baino gehiago behar izan ziren obretan, harik eta 2025eko azaroaren 1ean guztiz inauguratu zen arte.
