Grand Egyptian Museum

Gizah, Egypt

Saturday 1 November 2025 marked the full opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), one of the world’s most significant new cultural institutions. Designed by Heneghan Peng Architects beside the Pyramids of Giza, the museum combines extensive exhibition spaces with research, conservation, education and visitor facilities.

Working with Legacy, the building operator, and S/L Architects, Studio Jouan is contributing to the completion of the project by providing acoustic design for the 600-seat auditorium and the 6,000 m² administrative wing.

Designed to host both conferences and concerts, the auditorium required an acoustic environment capable of supporting speech intelligibility, musical clarity and audience comfort within a major international museum setting.
