Grand Egyptian Museum to display tomb paintings bringing ancient Egypt to life • FRANCE 24 English

The Grand Egyptian Museum, which held its opening ceremony on Saturday, will showcase tomb paintings and other artefacts offering insight into ancient Egyptian life, said Salima Ikram, Distinguished Professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo. The paintings depict ordinary people engaged in everyday activities — “they’re fishing, they’re fowling, they’re cooking,” Ikram said.
