The Minister thanked the Central Auditing Organization for
its efforts and instructed museum officials and the internal governance and
review committee to take the necessary executive measures.
The board also approved a proposal to reduce the maximum age
for students to receive discounted tickets from 24 years old, effective January
1, 2026.
Updates on the museum's executive status were reviewed,
including preparations for the opening ceremony and specialized services at the
museum's conservation center.
Additionally, the board approved the revised organizational
structure of the museum authority based on decisions from the Central Agency
for Organization and Administration. It also approved a cooperation protocol
between the museum authority and the Environmental Affairs Agency to
collaborate on environmental preservation.
Final preparations are underway for the museum's official
opening on November 1.
The museum will be temporarily closed from October 15 to November 4 for the final preparations. The King Tutankhamun Hall at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir will also close on Oct. 20 to complete the transfer of the last artifacts belonging to the "Golden King." For the first time, all of his artifacts will be displayed together in a single dedicated hall at the new museum.
