Global Egyptian Museum is an on line museum whose aim is to collect over 2 million objects. Those objects belonging to Egyptian culture are kept in about 850 public collections, dispersed over 69 countries around the world. This website aims to collect them into a global virtual museum, which can be visited at any time, from any place. The Global Egyptian Museum is a long-term project, carried out under the aegis of the International Committee for Egyptology (CIPEG).The Basic Mode, currently showcasing 1340 highlights, is geared to the interested public. A glossary of more than 400 items explains Egyptian terms and themes. Many objects are provided with audio comments and 3D-movies. The Advanced Mode, equipped with a powerful search and data entry engine, opens up the full database - presently 14975 objects - to professionals and amateurs. Developed by: CULTNAT.
