# A trove of golden treasures and antiquities detailing life in ancient Egypt will go on public display at Cairo’s record-breaking new museum. Located in the shadow of the pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum will be the world’s largest dedicated to a single civilisation, containing 50-thousand artefacts. The museum’s 12 main galleries contain artefacts spanning from prehistoric times to the Roman era. Two halls are dedicated to the 5-thousand artefacts from the collection of King Tutankhamun, which will be displayed in its entirety for the first time since its discovery in 1922.
New Egyptian Museum will display full Tutankhamun collection for first time
