The Grand Egyptian Museum rises near the Giza pyramids as the most ambitious cultural project in modern Egypt, a vast showcase designed to house the world's largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities with galleries that finally match the scale of the treasures inside. Set on a plateau between Cairo and the desert monuments, the building's translucent facade and monumental stairs frame views of the pyramids themselves, linking past and present in a single sightline.
