Virtual Reality Exhibition Hall Approved at NMEC in Fustat
The project forms part of plans to modernise displays and expand visitor engagement at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.
The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has approved the establishment of an interactive exhibition hall at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization as part of efforts to modernise museum displays and enhance visitor experience.
The decision was taken during a board meeting chaired by Sherif Fathy, Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, at the museum. According to the ministry, the new hall will incorporate Virtual Reality and Immersive Reality technologies to create interactive experiences for visitors.
During the session, El-Tayeb Abbas, chief executive of the museum authority, presented a review of activities over the past three months, including cultural events, training programmes, lectures and workshops.
Performance data presented to the board showed an increase in foreign visitor numbers between January and March compared to the same period last year, alongside updates on revenues from ticket sales and related services.
The meeting also reviewed progress on the upcoming Mummification Hall, which is currently being prepared with artefacts as part of the museum’s broader exhibition development.
Board members additionally discussed operational matters related to the museum’s services and management, focusing on improving overall visitor offerings and service delivery.
