"Minister of Culture Farouk Hosni will inaugurate the Rosetta National Museum after refurbishing works in the second half of November. The rehabilitation operations of the museum took two years to be completed at a total cost of LE 4 million, said Dr Zahi Hawwas, the Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) on Wednesday. Hawwas said that the rejuvenation operation of the museum came as part of a national plan undertaken by the Ministry of Culture and the SCA with a view to creating a number of provincial and specialized museums in Egypt. The plan is aimed at shedding light on the history of Egyptian cities and their historical importance, he added. The whole project is meant to sensitize the Egyptian people to the archaeological value of Egypt, Hawwas said".
