The idea of establishing the Grand Egyptian Museum began in the 1990s, and its foundation stone was laid in 2002.
The current design submitted by Henghan Peng Architects in Ireland won and came into effect.
The design was based on the fact that it represents extended sunlight. From the tops of the three pyramids when they meet, a conical mass forms the Grand Egyptian Museum.
Construction of the museum project began in May 2005. The largest center for the restoration of antiquities in the Middle East was established in 2006, and construction of the museum building was completed during the year 2021.
The museum is considered one of the most important and greatest achievements of modern Egypt as the largest museum in the world that tells the story of the history of ancient Egyptian civilization.
