About the Site
The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) beside the Giza pyramids is the largest museum in the world devoted to a single civilisation. Its vast glass façade faces the pyramids, and a colossal statue of Ramses II greets visitors in the atrium.
The Grand Staircase is lined with royal statues, and the main galleries tell Egypt's story from prehistory to the Roman era. The highlight is the complete treasure of Tutankhamun, shown together for the first time, including his golden mask.
