Miriam Mutebi, Breast Surgical Oncologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery at the Aga Khan University Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Something from my Cairo Chronicles.
History doesn’t sit still… it speaks forward.
At The Grand Egyptian Museum, it’s no different… legacy feels alive. It’s not frozen in time or held behind glass, but carefully stewarded, thoughtfully re-imagined, and carried into the future with intention.
Here, history is not behind us. It stays in conversation with what comes next.
What endures is not only what we preserve, but what we choose to evolve.
The quiet, often invisible work of continuity: honouring origins while redesigning for a different moment. Legacy, in this sense, isn’t nostalgia but stewardship.
There’s something very grounding about standing in a place shaped by a civilisation that understood continuity as an active practice.
A reminder that institutions, systems, and even personal journeys don’t last by standing still. They endure because someone chooses to tend them, to adapt, to renew, to carry meaning forward.
History speaks forward when we listen carefully and when we are intentional about what we shape next.”
