🏛️ Grand Egyptian Museum, Giza: where ancient treasures meet modern glass technology ✨ 🔗 Discover the full project case study on https://lnkd.in/dNzFmGsf ➡️ After more than two decades of planning and construction, the Grand Egyptian Museum has officially opened on the Giza Plateau, near Cairo, offering breathtaking views of the Great Pyramids. ✨ Recognised as the largest archaeological museum in the world, the museum will house around 100,000 artifacts, including the complete Tutankhamun collection displayed together for the first time. 🟨 AGC Glass Europe is proud to have contributed to this extraordinary cultural landmark by supplying most of the glass used throughout the museum. In total, more than 30,000 m² of AGC glass were installed across the exterior facades and interior display cases, bringing transparency, light and timeless elegance to this iconic destination. 🟦 Planibel Clearvision: for the King Tutankhamun exhibition showcases, AGC supplied around 2,500 m² of this low-iron glass, delivering exceptional light transmission and true colour fidelity. Processed into laminated glass panes, it allows visitors to admire the artifacts in their authentic colours while ensuring high levels of protection and durability. 👑 🔗 More on https://lnkd.in/dNANTVEW 🟦 Stopray, Energy and Sunergy: used in the museum’s distinctive double-glazed facade, these high-performance coated glass solutions provide excellent solar control and thermal insulation, improving indoor comfort while helping reduce energy consumption. 🌞 🔗 More on https://lnkd.in/dNaNCK75 ✨ The generous floor-to-ceiling glazing fills the interior with natural light and frames spectacular views of the Giza pyramids, creating a powerful connection between the museum experience and Egypt’s timeless landscape. Designed by heneghan peng architects, the museum is a stunning dialogue between past and present — glass, stone and light coming together in a contemporary tribute to one of the world’s oldest civilisations. 📷 Photos: ©Hassan Hamdi #amazing #architecture #museum #culturalheritage #glass #facade #solarcontrol #agcglass #GrandEgyptianMuseum #Clearvision #Stopray #Energy #Sunergy
