This place is stunning even before you get inside. The glass pyramids look very alien among the beautiful old buildings, and the main entrance of the museum is actually underground, you go down on escalators once you get in the pyramid.
You could easily spend the whole day looking around here, there is just so much to see. Allow yourself plenty of time.
The display of Egyptian artefacts was superb, it was my favourite thing that we saw in the museum. The collection is extensive and they have made a section which gives the impression that you are going down into a burial chamber to see the sarcophagi.
Pick up a map from the front desk and take a camera with you. There is information and tours available if you want to learn about the displays, but it is equally interesting to just step back and look at everything. Even the arcitechture of the building itself is fascinating!
