"The Grand Egyptian Museum, located on the outskirts of Cairo near the Pyramids of Giza, is the largest archaeological museum in the world. It offers an in-depth journey through Egypt's 3,000-year history, featuring artifacts from ancient Egypt including the statue of Ramses II, canopic jars, sarcophaguses, and more. The museum spans 50 hectares and includes both rotating and permanent galleries." - Kate McMahon
"Billed as the world’s largest archaeological museum dedicated to a single civilization, the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, Egypt, showcases over 50,000 artifacts, including the complete Tutankhamun collection and numerous other historical pieces spanning from 700,000 BCE to the 4th century AD. Although the King Tutankhamun collection and Khufu solar boats remain under wraps, the museum's main galleries, Grand Staircase, and Children's Museum are open to the public."
"The much-delayed Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, pegged to be the world's largest archaeological museum, is set to finally open in 2023 with all objects excavated from Tutankhamun’s tomb."
"The $1.1-billion and 5.2 million-square-foot Grand Egyptian Museum—which will be the second largest museum on earth and the largest museum dedicated to a single civilization—is currently under construction. When it opens in November, it will display some 50,000 ancient artifacts, including King Tut’s chariots and objects that have been languishing in storage in Cairo’s Egyptian Museum."
"When this $1 billion project finally wraps in late 2020, it’s expected to be the largest archaeological museum in the world, attracting five million visitors right out of the gate."
