The Grand Egyptian Museum is scheduled to open in 2013. "The new museum is one of the best ways of preserving these antiquities and showing them to the people at the same time. Our hope is it will be the greatest museum in the world," said Alaa al Din Shaheen of Cairo University and the Supreme Council of Antiquities.
