The meeting began with officials and representatives of the Hassan Allam alliance presenting a detailed presentation of the proposed ideas for operating the services in the museum, in order to ensure its readiness at the opening of the museum, and to display the museum in a proper manner, and in a manner that achieves commitment to ensuring respect for the environment of antiquities and the museum, and an affirmation of the museum's role as a cultural and civilized edifice that has its Distinguished place among the world's museums.
