The briefing format

Four decisions on every museum day

A useful brief is not a permanent hours table. It explains purpose, pace, route fit and what to verify.

01 · PURPOSE

Choose the collection

Ancient Egypt, civilization across eras, religious art, Thebes or Nubia?

02 · PACE

Set an attention budget

One large museum or two compact connected stops is enough.

03 · ROUTE

Keep geography honest

Transport, heat, security and food belong inside the day.

04 · VERIFY

Check the institution

Confirm hours, entry, galleries, bags, photography and access.

Current brief set

Six collection decisions

Each briefing answers a different pre-visit question.

BRIEF 02CAIRO

Tahrir or NMEC?

Historic object density or a civilization-wide narrative.

A good museum day has one anchor and one removable ending.
