Due to open in around three years time, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization will "place on show Egypt's diverse civilisations from pre-historic to modern times. On display will be 150,000 artefacts carefully selected from the principal museums in Egypt: the Egyptian, Islamic and Coptic museums in Cairo, the Graeco-Roman and Alexandria National museums in Alexandria and the Luxor Museum, as well as major archaeological storehouses such those on the Giza Plateau and at Saqqara". See the article for a broad discussion about the background to the museum and how the exhibits will be chosen.
