A setting worthy of its treasures.
At the edge of the Giza plateau, Heneghan Peng’s architecture takes its bearings from the pyramids. Monumental spaces lead from the entrance court to the galleries above. At the top of the Grand Staircase, the pyramids come into view: a reminder of the world that created what you have come to see.
