CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s antiquities minister says construction is under way on the main hall of a massive new museum by the Pyramids, the final phase of a complex that’s intended to house 100,000 ancient artifacts including King Tutankhamun’s mummy.

Minister Mohammed Ibrahim and the country’s international cooperation minister toured the 120-acre site Monday. Authorities are seeking to revive Egypt’s battered tourism industry after three years of turmoil.
