The land of pharaohs, temples, and tombs, Egypt is home to many wonders. Adding another feather to its cap is the new antiquities museum &mdash Grand Egyptian Museum, touted to be the largest in the world which is slated to open in 2023. 

it will be the largest archaeological museum complex in the world and host to more than 100,000 artifacts. For the first time ever, King Tut&rsquos entire treasure collection will be on display alongside artifacts from pre-historic times through Egypt&rsquos many thousands of years of pharaonic civilization through the [comparatively] more modern ancient Greek and Roman periods of Egyptian history.

But here is another huge reason that will make it worth a visit. The museum, which is expected to be the biggest museum in the world devoted to a single civilisation, will include a solar power plant, completely embracing Egypt's continued commitment to renewable energy sources. The United Nations Development Program and Egypt's Industrial Modernization Center will work together with the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy to create the new solar power facility.

The museum has been an example of sustainable practises since its beginnings. After receiving the Green Building Award from the Environment and Development Forum, it was recognised as the first eco-friendly museum in Egypt and has a number of sustainable elements.

Also known as the Giza Museum, the foundation stone was laid in 2002. The 120 acre site of the museum is situated around 2 km away from the Giza pyramids. Installations of some 100,000 artefacts, many of which will be displayed for the first time including 3,000 treasures from the tomb of Tutankhamun, will be open for public viewing.
