As part of the final preparations to celebrate the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, the largest cultural edifice dedicated to one civilization in the world, which is the ancient Egyptian civilization, the official invitation to attend the event was revealed, which was designed to be a commemorative piece of art that reflects the spirit of the ancient Egyptian civilization and its human value. The golden coffin of King Tutankhamun was chosen to be the focus of the invitation design, as it is one of the museum’s most prominent collections.

Sherif Fathi, Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, pointed out that the invitation came with a purely Egyptian design and implementation through the Treasures of Egypt Company for Archaeological Models, under the technical supervision of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, to constitute not only an invitation, but a souvenir that embodies the beauty of the young king’s holdings inside the museum and documents a historical moment that will be passed down through generations over time.
He added that just as the museum will remain a cultural edifice bearing witness to the genius of the ancient Egyptian, the invitation came to be an extension of this value, in a piece that can be preserved and passed down for many years.
Major General Hisham Shaarawy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Treasures of Egypt Company for Archaeological Models, explained that the design of the invitation went through several precise stages that reflect the sensitivity of the artistic work derived from Egypt’s cultural heritage. The process began from the sculpture department, where the artists embodied the decorations, symbols, and hieroglyphic writings with the accuracy of the original symmetry, then moved to the stages of reproduction, gilding, and coloring, before the coffin was wrapped from the inside with luxurious velvet cloth, to appear in its final image that befits it. With the grandeur of the celebration and the status of the museum.
As the museum prepares to welcome the world, this invitation carries a fundamental message that Egypt’s civilization is not a past to be told, but rather a vibrant legacy that continues to inspire across generations.
