Luxor Museum, Archaeological museum on the Nile corniche in Luxor, Egypt
The Luxor Museum displays ancient Egyptian artifacts across two floors, with exhibits arranged to allow visitors clear views of every artifact from multiple angles.
Established in 1975 by the Egyptian Ministry of Culture, the museum houses significant artifacts from the tomb of Tutankhamun and the Luxor Temple cache discovery of 1989.
The museum exhibits include statues of pharaohs, sacred objects, and royal mummies that represent the artistic and religious practices of ancient Egyptian civilization.
The museum provides multilingual descriptions for all exhibits and requires approximately two hours to explore the complete collection of carefully selected artifacts.
A reconstructed wall from Akhenaten's temple displays sandstone blocks showing detailed scenes of the pharaoh, Queen Nefertiti, and daily temple activities.
