Egypt’s Grand Museum Opens Tutankhamun Tomb Exhibit

Egypt has officially opened the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) near the Great Pyramid of Giza, heralded as the world’s largest archaeological museum, showcasing 100,000 artefacts spanning 7,000 years of history. A key attraction is the complete collection from Tutankhamun’s tomb, including his famous gold mask and throne, displayed together for the first time. The $1.2 billion museum aims to boost tourism and return focus to Egyptian antiquities. Despite construction delays, the GEM is expected to transform cultural tourism in Egypt.
