It is the first non-archaeological museum to win the museum display shield from the Egyptian National Committee of the International Council of Museums for the best museum show in Egypt.

It is characterized by its architectural design in line with the nature of the Whale Valley, as it was designed and supervised by the architect, Gabriel Michael (Gabi Touma), who was interested in making the museum part of the desert so that it looks like the top of a sand dune.

By visiting it, you will be able to know about the history of the valley, and the stages of the Earth's change. Through the viewing windows, you will see how life forms have changed over millions of years according to the climate change on the planet from its inception to the modern era.
