The Grand Egyptian Museum will be the largest museum in the world dedicated to ancient Egyptian culture, which is why it truly is Egypt’s valuable GEM.
To top it all off, the Grand Egyptian Museum will host the first ever hanging obelisk on display at the entrance of the museum.
The GEM is set to host more than 5000 artifacts from the tomb of the Golden King Tutankhamun, artifacts that were never shown to the public before.
The Main Galleries show material from the Prehistoric to the Roman periods, while our entrance areas focus on Kingship and Power.
The hanging obeslik really comes as a cherry on top of all these magnificent and marvelous artifacts.
All GEM exhibitions will be contextualized for the visitor with stories, texts, digital interactive and media displays, to give the audience the optimum experience of the largest cultural museum.
According to the GEM’s Executive Affairs for Restoration and Transportation of Antiquities Eissa Zidan, the restoration and construction of the world’s first hanging obelisk is set to be finished soon and it will be placed in front of the main facade of the museum.
The bottom of the obelisk will contain the cartridges of King Ramses II. The aim of the obelisk design made by General Supervisor of the Grand Museum Atef Moftah, is to enable GEM’s visitors to see the cartridge from below.
Upon entering the obelisk base, visitors will be able to see the archaeological base below it and by looking at the top of the obelisk, cartridges of King Ramesses II can be seen.
How cool does this sound?
Zidan further explained that the design of the obelisk is quite unique, seeing that the obelisk will be hung on four columns, taking into account the loads and vibrations on the body of the obelisk.
The hanging obelisk will be the very first artifact to receive the visitor outside the lobby of the museum. The word Egypt will also be engraved on the columns in all languages!
The design of the obelisk is indeed quite impressive and we just can’t wait any longer for the museum to open.
