The collection celebrates the long-awaited inauguration, highlighting Egypt’s enduring heritage and global cultural stature.
Minister of Telecommunications and Information Technology Amr Talaat said the GEM stands as a global landmark that embodies the timeless grandeur of Egyptian civilization.
Issuing the commemorative stamps, he added, aims to immortalize a pivotal moment in Egypt’s modern history, describing postage stamps as “a mirror reflecting the nation’s journey and achievements.”
Talaat said the collection was more than an artistic product, calling it “a cultural message” that reflects Egypt’s leadership in safeguarding its heritage while integrating technology into cultural documentation.
Egypt Post Chairperson Dalia El Baz said the institution was proud to contribute to recording this national milestone, noting that the stamps were carefully designed to capture the museum’s architectural splendour and its priceless artefacts.
The issue includes a commemorative sheet of five stamps depicting ancient statues displayed in the museum, as well as a separate set of three stamps showcasing its façade and official logo.
El Baz reaffirmed Egypt Post’s commitment to supporting Egyptian culture and history through special editions marking major national events.
The commemorative sheet (14 centimetres x 23 centimetres) features five stamps, while the additional set (5 centimetres x 9 centimetres) includes three.
All are multicoloured, protected against forgery, and embedded with QR codes offering collectors an interactive digital experience about the museum and its opening.
