Outputs – Belle Epoque Cairo Museums Itineraries

The BECAMI project has facilitated the establishment of emotional ownership of the Belle Epoque Cairo Museums by university students and school children, by creatively engaging them over a period of one year. It has also increased these museums’ visibility and accessibility through tthe following outputs:

1	BECAMI websites, presenting each of the twelve museums and linking them via a virtual itinerary platform of walkable and thematic clusters, hence increasing their visibility and accessibility to the people.
2	Co-designed art installations, museum signage and publicity material following workshops, a design competition and photography and architectural exhibitions (see image above).
3	Foundations for the virtual twinning of the Egyptian Railway museum and the National Railway museum in York through their exhibits of the early history of railways and steam engines of Robert Stephenson and UK’s introduction of railways to North Africa.
4	Co-designed educational games aimed at enhancing the interaction between children and exhibits and encourage curiosity and learning through play.
5	Two research paper publications and book manuscript (the latter in progress).
