L-Acoustics delivers golden sound for Mummies on Parade Egypt – The National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation (NMEC) in Fustat is one of UNESCO’s projects to help safeguard and preserve Egypt’s cultural heritage. The April opening of the new-build museum was marked with a lavish ceremony, in anticipation of which the Egyptian government undertook a multi-million-dollar investment to re-paint, re-light, and equip downtown Cairo with sound.

The 4-mile (7 km) long procession across the capital Cairo was broadcast on more than 400 TV channels worldwide. The convoy carried unique capsules containing the remains of 22 mummies who ruled Egypt thousands of years ago.
