UNESCO was encouraged in the 1980's to plan a Nubian museum in Aswan, where the objects could be stored & exhibited. it became a reality and opened in November 1997.

The building is set within a landscape, on graded levels, that includes a sequence of waterfalls. it divides into 2 branches to surround an open-air stage & amphitheater where already many local & foreign groups have performed.
