The new Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo, whose magnificent façade was inspired by the nearby Pyramids of Giza, is the largest archaeological museum in the world dedicated to a single ancient civilization. Tarek Tawfik, president of the International Association of Egyptologists, served as its director general during the transfer of more than 40,000 artifacts to their new home. He introduces the museum and some of its treasures, including an obelisk suspended in the entrance plaza, the entire contents of King Tutankhamun’s (Tut’s) tomb, and newly discovered Book of the Dead scrolls.
Join us for this special presentation and visit the exhibitions The Egyptian Book of the Dead and Sculpted Portraits from Ancient Egypt during their final weeks on view.
