The Grand Egyptian Museum isn’t just the biggest museum dedicated to a single civilisation - it’s also a fun place for kids to learn about all things Egypt! This summer, the museum is hosting all sorts of programmes and workshops that will help them see their ancient culture in a new light, whether it’s uncovering the secrets of how to build a pyramid or how to use robots to be a high-tech Egyptologist.

These programmes will be running throughout July, with reservations available through the Grand Egyptian Museum’s website.
