It follows employees of the German design firm Atelier Brückner, one of the major contractors, interacting with Egyptian counterparts, etc.

There's many other docs waiting in the wings now:

The GEM's super impressive, but a part of me also misses the charme and flair of the old Cairo Museum building, which had essentially become an artifact unto itself that somehow recalled that whole Howard Carter vibe we all subconsciously associate with Egyptology.

The very modern, flatly-lid, matter-of-fact galleries of the GEM I'm sure are SOTA museum work, but rather sterile. Still, I suppose the neutral looks have their virtue.

It shouldn't distract from the museum itself (it's actually really good), but it's interesting context to see how culture, history, and politics continue to overlap. It is also hard to overstate how much of Sisi's decisions are themselves around trying to define his own legacy in history in a manner that Mubarak, Sadat, and other strongmen in Egypt have tried.
