Egypt's Minister of Tourism & Antiquities Khaled
el-Enany visited the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Fustat, in Old
Cairo.
The museum is located on an area of 135 thousand square meters.
Enany visited the museum in order to follow up on the
progress of work there in preparation for receiving the Royal Mummies Parade
from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir.
Enany also reviewed the work that is currently in full
swing to equip the central exhibition gallery and the mummies gallery in
preparation for their opening.
He checked the museum’s multimedia display, which is an
integral part of the museum’s display scenario.
It relies on the dazzling
display of content that paves the way for visitors to enter the museum’s most
important gallery: The gallery of the Royal Mummies.
Furthermore, Enany was accompanied by Director of the
National Museum of Egyptian Civilization Ahmed Ghoneim, Secretary General of
the Supreme Council of Antiquities Mostafa Waziri, Head of the Museums Sector
Moamen Othman, Adviser to the Minister for Museums Display Scenario Ali Omar
and members of the committee.
During the visit, Enany instructed the staff to make some
adjustments in the way some artifacts are displayed and rearranged them
according to the museum's display scenario, in addition to adding some pieces
to enrich the museum’s display.
At the end of the visit, Enany held two meetings with the
members of the museum’s display scenario committee, during which he discussed
the display scenario of the artifacts in the National Museum of Egyptian
Civilization, the Administrative Capital Museum in the City of Culture and Arts
in the New Administrative Capital, and the Grand Egyptian Museum.
The project of the National Museum of Egyptian
Civilization will play a big role in introducing visitors to the various
aspects of Egyptian civilization throughout history, with its manifestations of
the richness and diversity of the Egyptian civilization from prehistoric times
to the modern era, through its unique collections.
