Abstract

The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) is currently the first of its kind in Egypt and the Arab world. It presents the full range of the richness and diversity of Egyptian civilization throughout all the ages which started from the Prehistoric times to the present day. NMEC played important role in the society, and it became the place of culture where cultural activities are organized to satisfy the need for knowledge of the local and international community and to interact with people. The museum's exceptional collection includes the royal mummies, which are exhibited in a new interactive display using 21st century cutting edge technology to go beneath the wrappings and reveal their secrets. These royal mummies are unique and important resource for our knowledge of ancient Egyptian funerary customs, and mummification techniques. NMEC organized a diverse array of workshops, each specializing in a different art form, most of these workshops shed light on Egypt's oldest crafts. Furthermore, the museum provides cultural and entertainment services, educational department, restoration laboratories, conservation, and research center. As a result, NMEC has become a cultural hub that raises awareness of the role of Egypt as the foundations of human civilization. The purpose of this paper is to study the role of the museum and its importance in the society, and this study will focus on identifying the modern display techniques used for the royal mummies, and the services which the NMEC provide for the Visitors.
