overview
We have waited many years, but at long last the Grand Egyptian Museum, in the shadow of the Great Pyramid at Giza, has opened its doors to visitors.
The partially built museum - which will be the world's largest archeological museum when it is completed - will showcase one hundred thousand artifacts from ancient Egypt civilisation, including the complete Tutankhamun collection.
In the first of two lectures about this extraordinary new space, join Egyptologist Lucia Gahlin for a thrilling armchair journey through its just opened galleries which explore Egypt's Predynastic Period (also known as New Kingdom Egypt).
