This international competition of the museum targeted a unique museum presenting the real identity and the great heritage of Egypt.

Egypt passed with a lot of civilizations which had different identities and left a various heritage which in total composed this great civilization, although there was a clear differentiation between the period of each civilization in Egypt.

The pharaohs heritage was the most important and the biggest impactor in the Egyptian civilization; then it should be the dominant element in the design composition.

Form generation philosophy: Egyptian heritage is the center of the civilizations power, the source of inspiration and science for all civilizations. Like the Sun and planets which orbit around it.

Each show room represented in a planet and the main hall is the center of the museum.
