Over the last few decades, contemporary museums have undergone a radical change: they have become public places that promote socio-economic sustainability through recreation, commercial, and cultural activities. This shift has altered public perception of museums globally and had a profound impact on today’s museums, resulting in new prototypes that differ significantly from prior ones. This study tries to answer the following questions: How far have Egyptian museums evolved over the last decade? what degree can the radical transformation in museum design assist in fulfilling Egypt’s SDGs? To answer these questions, this study attempts to explore how far Egyptian museums have adapted to this fundamental change, by tracing the evolution of Egyptian museum design compared with the findings of the author’s previous thesis in 2012 and Egypt’s SDGs. This study used qualitative methods, which began with a thorough literature review, followed by a comparative analysis of the selected case studies. The findings revealed that the contemporary design of recent Egyptian museums, by including social and economic activities, significantly supports the national and global agenda in terms of SDG. This article provides architects, designers, and policy makers with clear design criteria to enhance the social and economic role of museums, towards fulfilling SDGs.

“…An analysis of existing virtual museums [5] show that they are not comprehensive and tend to highlight only small areas of gallery space or focus upon individual high profile items housed within the museum's collections [6,7,8]. The 'virtual museum' in this respect has become synonymous with 'museum website' or virtual brochure wherein emphasis is placed on the institution itself rather than the galleries or objects housed within it [9,10,11,12,13].…”

“…Web 2.0 technologies help to make cultural production more democratic, driving users to generate and share their museum content (Shahani, Economou, & Nikomanou, 2008). Virtual exhibitions contribute to enhancing the experience of visitors and attracting a new audience (Charitos et al, 2001). Information and communication technologies (ICTs), digital innovation, and virtual environments help to enhance the potential of museums as suppliers of cultural consumption goods and significantly enable the museum to develop the ability to attract new visitors and improve visitors' experiences, satisfaction, and loyalty (Mancini & Carreras, 2010;Zollo, Rialti, Marrucci, & Ciappei, 2021).…”

As audience-oriented and information-driven organisations, museums are embracing the Internet and interactive technology for developing virtual museums by encouraging the participation of the users in cultural activities. Technology does not exist per se being socially shaped. Museums have the opportunity to promote social innovation by developing technology and opening up to the audience as an active participant in the definition of cultural contents emphasising the interaction and communication between museums and their users. The Internet and interactive technology help museums to drive service innovation by opening up to the participation of the audience in defining cultural heritage contents. As virtual-oriented and technology-driven organisations, museums are becoming social, developing social spaces for innovation, selecting different pathways by managing information and knowledge sharing, developing interactive and virtual technology, building a shared authority on cultural heritage, involving the user as an active participant in co-production of cultural heritage knowledge.
