The Documentary

World Service, 8.06pm

There are few nations

prouder of their ancient

civilisation than Egypt. Which

probably explains why the

Grand Egyptian Museum is

being built. The complex —

on a 120-acre site a mile from

the pyramids of Giza and

housing 55,000 objects —

will be the world’s largest

archaeological museum,

served by a purpose-built

airport. The architecture

critic and historian Jonathan

Glancey reports on how it’s

all going, ten years after work

began. Will it help the

Egyptian government to

encourage the revival of mass

tourism after a turbulent

decade of strife and Islamic

terrorism? Ben Dowell
