ACCIONA Cultura is responsible for the technical and museographic implementation of 4 different areas at the new Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo, comprising an area of 12,000 square meters.

ACCIONA Cultura work is focused on 4 privileged places of the museum: the Atrium, a visitor space where the great statue of Ramses welcomes them; the Grand Stairs, which allow the access to the exhibition galleries through a corridor with dozens of large sculptures; the Children Gallery, a space composed by many interactives, games and didactic audiovisual resources; and, finally, the jewel of the crown, the Tutankhamun Gallery, where ACCIONA has also conducted a three-dimensional scan and carried out the photogrammetry for Tutankhamun’s outer burial chamber (scale and colour), to provide an exact digital model of the original that can be turned into a physical reproduction for future display at the museum.

ACCIONA Cultura has incorporated a variety of exhibition elements, such as graphics, models, life-sized reproductions and exhibition and staging lighting to support the story told by the museum and contextualize the archaeological pieces.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is the largest archaeological museum in the world, housing 45,000 pieces (of which 25,000 have never been exhibited before), showing the history of Ancient Egypt from Prehistory to the Greco-Roman period.

The museum is located two kilometres from the Giza pyramids and occupies 50 hectares of land. It is expected to receive over five million visitors a year – around 15,000 a day –.
