Thanks very much to Raymond Betz for sharing his photographs on the EEF Forum website, at the above page. There are two photographs of the exterior of the museum, and three of artefacts which are part of the museum's outdoor display. It all looks very attractive.

"The two-storey Al-Arish National Museum (ANM) will open soon. The temple-shaped, honey-coloured edifice has finally emerged from its hiding place of almost a decade, behind an ugly array of scaffolding, planks and plastic sheeting.
The 2,500-square-metre museum, which will make a huge visual difference to North Sinai's capital city, tells the history of Sinai from the pre-dynastic era to the Islamic era, displaying 1,500 objects carefully selected from eight museums in Egypt.They are the Egyptian, Coptic and Islamic museums (all in Cairo); the Recovered Antiquities Museum at the Citadel; the Graeco-Roman Museum in Alexandria; the Sinai Historical Museum in Taba; the Port Said Museum; and the Beni Suef Antiquity Storehouses in Ashmounein. Artefacts unearthed on the Horus Military Road in the Sinai town of Qantara East and Tel Basta in the Nile Delta are also on display.The museum stands opposite the Al-Arish Ethnographic Centre at the town's eastern end, on the very spot where the Egyptian flag was raised after the Israeli withdrawal from this part of Sinai in 1979. It is set in a huge, 16,000sqm garden full of trees and plants."
