The Journey to Completion

Slowly, the front turns into night, and the theatre illuminates the same hypnotizing way as the Egyptian desert.
The museum's architecture will have three three visual axes, which will be perpendicular to the pyramids. Thus, a pyramid will be at the end of each axis. Visitors entering the museum get an orientation to the main exhibits through this ax. Also, a spatial structure for the museum is created to lead visitors to various zones, each dedicated to a different point in the history of Ancient Egypt. The historical co, the Great Court, instead of the huge exhibition space, is the main part of the museum where the grandeur of ancient Egypt is displayed. Here, the first thing presented to the visitors is a sculpture that portrays the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesnes II, standing 39.5 feet tall. This ancient artifact, which is more than 320 years old, was installed when construction was not even completed, thus testifying that the artifact plays a significant role in defining the museum's architecture.
Beyond the center square comes another forecourt with a majestic canopy as its stairway climbs back to ground level. This is when guests can choose which collection interests them the most, from the iconic Tutankhamun Collection to the incredible Solar Boat. They are the ones to remember that Egyptians, one of the oldest civilizations on Earth, have left behind a legacy for their cultural heritage, disclosing the secret of this.
