Egypt wants to open its museums, but there is not enough cash

There is political will to revive museums in Egypt, but not enough money, argue Hannah Mcgivern and Aimee Dawson in a piece for The Art Newspaper. Egypt needs EGP 2 bn to reopen 20 museums closed since the 2011 revolution, Antiquities Minister Khaled El Enany had said. The National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation needs EGP 800 mn for its permanent displays.
