New museum to open Saturday in El Matareya

Antiquities Minister Khaled Anani will inaugurate the newly renovated museum in Cairo’s Matareya neighborhood on Saturday, according to Al Mal. Excavation work is ongoing in Matareya, where German and Egyptian archaeologists unearthed an eight-meter Ancient Egyptian statue in March last year, as researchers believe they can find more artefacts. The space around the museum is also being kept clear of street vendors.
