Cairo, Egypt (November 1, 2025) – Today, internationally renowned architecture firm heneghan peng architects celebrates the official completion of its design of the Grand Egyptian Museum. Located just over one mile away from the Pyramids of Giza, the Museum is a testament to the longevity and scale of ancient Egyptian civilization and its enduring influences. Designed to house 100,000 artifacts, the Museum is the largest in the world dedicated to a single civilization. The full completion is marked by the opening of the Tutankhamen gallery, which will display the entire collection of over 5,000 artifacts to the public for the first time. heneghan peng designed the Museum in direct relation to the positioning of the pyramids, thoughtfully bridging the gap between history and modernity.

heneghan peng architects 于2003年中标该项目。当时，埃及文化部发起了迄今为止规模最大的已建成建筑国际竞赛，征集在一处俯瞰金字塔的尊贵场地上设计一座世界级博物馆的方案。heneghan peng 的设计从来自82个国家的1,556份参赛作品中脱颖而出，成为这家总部位于爱尔兰的事务所的重要里程碑。项目由全球建筑师与工程师团队共同完成，heneghan peng 与 Arup 及 Buro Happold 组成联合体推进设计，并进一步引入 Cultural Innovations 与 Metaphor 提供博物馆学服务，West 8 负责景观设计。完整团队名单见下文。

heneghan peng architects was awarded the project in 2003 after the Egyptian Ministry of Culture launched the largest architectural competition in the world for a completed building to date, calling for submissions to design a world-class museum on a prestigious site overlooking the pyramids. heneghan peng’s design triumphed over 1,556 other entries from 82 different countries, marking a significant achievement for the Ireland-based firm. heneghan peng worked with a global team of architects and engineers to bring the project to life, forming a joint venture with Arup and Buro Happold to develop the design and expanding to include CulturalInnovations and Metaphor for museological services and West 8 for landscape design.

“在如此接近金字塔这一具有巨大纪念性与象征意义的地标之处，设计这样级别的博物馆，是一生难得的机遇，”heneghan peng architects 创始合伙人 Róisín Heneghan 表示。“我们的设计旨在强化与历史与场所的联系，为一些从未向公众展出的文物提供一个家园——它们安放在孕育自身的土地之上。最终呈现的体验以既现代又永恒的方式，唤起人们对古埃及丰富而深邃历史的敬畏之感。”

“Designing a museum of this caliber, in such close proximity to a landmark as monumental and symbolic as the pyramids, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Róisín Heneghan, Founding Partner at heneghan peng architects. “Our design works to strengthen that connection to history and place, providing a home for some never-before-seen artifacts that rests upon the very land from which they were created. The result is an experience that evokes a sense of awe at the breadth and depth of ancient Egypt’s fascinating history in a way that feels both modern and timeless.”

博物馆坐落于数千年前由尼罗河塑造而成的沙漠高原之上，其地质背景在设计中至关重要。建筑从入口外的一个视觉焦点向外辐射，沿着一条与三座金字塔方位直接对齐的视觉轴线指向金字塔。室内墙体顺应这些放射线展开，形成扇形空间；屋顶亦沿相似的视觉线向上倾斜，直至与金字塔的最高点相接，但从不超越它们。博物馆与金字塔之间这种直接的空间对话强化了场所关联，营造出无与伦比的视野，使金字塔仿佛成为博物馆的一部分。

Located on a desert plateau formed by the Nile thousands of years ago, the Museum’s geological setting was integral to the design. Beginning at a focal point outside of the entrance, the Museum structure radiates outward toward the pyramids along a visual axis that aligns directly with the positioning of the three pyramids. The interior walls follow these radial lines to create a fanning shape, with the roof sloping upward along a similar visual line to meet the highest point of the pyramids but never surpassing them. This direct dialogue between the Museum and the pyramids strengthens the connection to place and creates an unparalleled view that makes the pyramids feel like a part of the Museum itself.

宏大的六层楼梯作为一条按时间顺序展开的参观路径，引导观众穿越不同展厅，从史前时期一直到科普特时期。永久展览在 Cultural Innovations 与 Metaphor 提供的总体规划与博物馆学咨询支持下完成，包括新的图坦卡蒙展厅，均设置在楼梯顶端，鼓励观众在抵达终点、欣赏金字塔的标志性景观之前，充分沉浸于各个历史阶段的展陈内容。包括塞努塞尔特一世的10尊雕像在内的多件体量最大、重量最重的文物，也被安置在楼梯沿线的不同高度位置。引入自然采光是 heneghan peng 打造博物馆参观体验并回应地区历史语境的关键策略。出于文物保护的原因，博物馆通常会尽量减少自然光，但本馆的许多藏品为石质文物，这为在条件允许的情况下引入自然采光提供了独特机会，尤其是在博物馆的主要公共空间中。为尽可能实现被动式性能，建筑主体大量采用混凝土结构，以降低温度波动，并在如此巨大的空间尺度中减少对空调系统的依赖。

The grand six-story staircase serves as a chronological route to guide visitors through the different galleries, beginning with the Predynastic Period through the Coptic era. Developed with masterplanning and museological advisory services from Cultural Innovations and Metaphor, the permanent exhibitions, including the new Tutankhamen Gallery, are placed at the top of the staircase, encouraging visitors to immerse themselves in each period before completing the experience with the iconic view of the pyramids. Many of the largest and heaviest artifacts, including the 10 statues of King Senusret I, are also placed upon the staircase at varying levels. The incorporation of natural lighting is a key element of heneghan peng’s approach to the Museum experience and connection to the region’s historic context. While natural lighting is typically minimized in museums for conservation reasons, many of the artifacts are stone, creating a unique opportunity to introduce natural lighting wherever possible, particularly in the Museum’s main spaces. To help the building perform as passively as possible, the structure is largely made of concrete to reduce variation in temperature and minimize the need for air conditioning in such a vast space.

博物馆在多重层面上被设计为开罗的一项公共资源。场地内还包括大规模花园，为当地社区提供公共绿地。该景观由 West 8 协作完成，主题花园、迎宾广场与大礼堂共同呈现出与周边环境的对照关系，回溯埃及文明在尼罗河谷地的起源。宽阔而绿化的前庭点缀着海枣树，讲述着尼罗河泛滥平原的故事——正是这片水域曾使修建金字塔的石料得以通过船运运输。该开放区域完整展现了博物馆长达800米的体量，并容纳了5公顷的室外展陈空间，用以陈列文物。除面向公众的展厅外，博物馆还必须具备对文物进行保护与展前准备的能力。通过隧道与主馆相连的保护中心、实验室与库房，是全球规模最大的此类设施之一，设有17个不同实验室，专门用于保存馆藏的珍贵文物。鉴于馆藏材料的多样性，设计需满足从纸草文书与纺织品到陶器、雕塑及人类遗存等不同文物的专属保护需求。

The Museum was designed to be a resource for Cairo in more ways than one. The site also includes extensive gardens that provide public green space for the local community. Developed in collaboration with landscape architecture firm West 8, the Thematic Gardens, Welcome Plaza and Grand Hall speak to the juxtaposition of the surrounding landscape, harking back to the beginnings of Egyptian civilization in the lush Nile valley. The broad, greened forecourt, dotted with date palms, was designed to tell the story of the Nile floodplain that once allowed the stones for the pyramids to be transported by ship. This open zone reveals the museum in its full 800 - meter length and houses 5 hectares of outdoor exhibition space to be populated by artifacts.

In addition to the public - facing galleries, it was also imperative that the Museum had the capability to conserve and prepare artifacts for display. The conservation centre, laboratories and storage facility, connected to the main building via tunnel, is one of the largest in the world with 17 different labs dedicated to preserving the Museum’s priceless artifacts. Given the diversity of materials that make up the Museum’s collection, the design needed to cater to artifacts ranging from papyrus and textiles to pottery, sculptures, and human remains, which all require unique measures.

“该项目呈现出超越想象的品质，其成果彰显了富有远见的协作所取得的成功。从一个强有力的建筑概念出发，一个巧妙而多层次的博物馆园区由此诞生，能够接待数以百万计的访客。建筑的历史遗产之宏大与体量尺度之壮阔，被优雅地融入吉萨高原的边缘，使博物馆真正嵌入其历史与地质语境之中。前景绿地的美在于它们强烈呼应了真实的尼罗河泛滥平原，一直延伸至沙漠的边缘。” —— Adriaan Geuze，West 8 创始人

“The project brings qualities beyond imagination, and the result shows the successes of visionary collaboration. From a strong architectural concept, a clever and multi-layered museum campus was born that, today, is able to host millions of visitors. The grandeur of both the legacy and scale of the buildings has been elegantly merged into the edge of the Giza plateau. This delivered a museum that is truly embedded in the historical and geological context. The beauty of the green foreground spaces is that they strongly echo the authentic floodplain of the Nile, which reaches all the way to the edge of the desert.” – Adriaan Geuze, Founder of West 8
