A visitor-flow note: grand stair, chronological halls, and the plateau view as orientation cues published with the building.
Architectural cues
Published photography and visitor notes repeatedly return to a few cues: a long ascent, large-object display, and glazed views back to the plateau. Those cues are enough to sketch a sequence without inventing a minute-by-minute map.
Chronology as a reading order
Museum copy for GEM has described a chronological spine for the main halls. A reader can use that spine as a hypothesis: start with the building’s announced order, then let temporary displays interrupt it. Interruptions belong on the exhibition brief, not on this gallery note.
The plateau as a gallery caption
The balcony view toward the pyramids is not decoration. It ties indoor objects to the landscape they came from. Keep that caption in mind when the itinerary later adds an outdoor plateau circuit—the two days share a horizon, not a floor plan.
