Egypt Opens Grand Egyptian Museum Near the Pyramids of Giza
Egypt inaugurated the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) adjacent to the Great Pyramid of Khufu in Giza on Thursday, establishing the world’s largest archaeological museum and a landmark achievement in cultural preservation. The facility, built to international standards, displays around 100,000 artifacts spanning seven millennia, from predynastic eras through Greek and Roman times, and is poised to become a premier destination for global visitors exploring Egypt’s ancient heritage. Authorities project up to eight million annual visitors, delivering a major lift to the country’s cultural tourism sector. In related developments, the Netherlands confirmed it will repatriate a 3,500-year-old Egyptian sculpture, deemed looted during the 2011–2012 Arab Spring unrest.
