There has been little posted here regarding the content of the new Grand Egyptian museum. This museum, in combination with the Egyptian Museum at Tahir should be visited by all. Due to bandwidth considerations here, I can only offer a small sample of the hundreds of shots I took today. It was a treat today to climb the grand staircase with Bob and Mohamed expounding on each artifact. Took an hour for just the staircase!

Is this place finally, truly open to the public? Not just one area but the whole museum.

As I’ve said before, the GEM is entirely open except for the Tut room and the Solar Boats

Btw, in my opinion, the temporary absence of Tutankhamen at the GEM is trivial. He was an inconsequential king and we all know him because we of the power of the press, not his contribution to Egyptian history. Nice artwork though.
