Egypt: Minya's Atuni Museum to Be Inaugurated Soon

Antiquities Minister Mohamed Ibrahim discussed with a German cultural delegation on 10/6/2012 means of reactivating a 1998 twin ship agreement between the Germany's Hildesheim museum and the Atuni Museum in the Upper Egyptian city of Minya.
Talks covered accelerating work to complete the still unfinished stages of the Atuni Museum project, mainly those connected with the display design and the setting up of the museum's data base.
An agreement was reached with the German officials on the German government's adoption of a fund-raising campaign to provide the LE60 million needed for financing the final stages of the museum dedicated to showing King Akhenaten's reign and history.
