The World's Largest Museum: Inside Egypt's Billion Dollar Project

A stone's throw from the iconic Cheops pyramids, another famous man-made creation rises, towering over the Giza Plateau: The Grand Egyptian Museum. The construction of this ultra-modern building, of unprecedented proportions spanning 117 acres, was recently completed. With its 20 years of construction marked by pitfalls and dead ends, 5,000 daily onsite workers, and a $1 billion budget, it is the largest construction site the world has ever seen.
