The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) will be both a world heritage asset and a national symbol of 21st century Egypt.

Cultural Innovations’ first engagement with the project was between 2004 and 2007. We provided all museological advisory services for the development of the exhibition masterplan for the 56,000 square metres of exhibition space that will house 100,000 ancient Egyptian artefacts including the entire Tutankhamun collection.

In 2018, we were additionally appointed to lead the content development and interpretive planning for the permanent Kingdom Galleries of the museum which tell the 3000 year story of ancient Egypt from the pre-dynastic period through the Old, Middle and New Kingdom periods to the end of Ptolemaic dynasty in 30BC. Cultural Innovations are the lead exhibition designers (3D and graphic) for two of the four galleries that collectively make up the Kingdom Galleries that house this huge and extraordinary collection.
