Construction on Grand Museum proceeds
Japan Times
Construction began Monday of the Grand Egyptian Museum in the suburbs of Giza, with completion scheduled for August 2015.
The museum, which will display about 100,000 items — including King Tutankhamen's golden mask, will cost ¥63 billion to build, with Japan providing about ¥35 billion in loans.
Construction began with a cue from Egypt's antiquities minister, Mohamed Ibrahim Ali, during a groundbreaking ceremony at a site near Pharaoh Khufu's pyramid.
