Luxor Museum

Museum of Ancient Art of Luxor (Luxor Museum)

Luxor Museum Inaugurated in 1975 and located in front of the Nile in a rectangular building, in Luxor Museum illumination plays a fundamental role in the exhibition of its artifacts to highlight them in an atmosphere of gray tones and without natural illumination.

The two floors of the museum house pieces that correspond to the findings of the temples and necropolis of the Theban region. In our tour we see statues of kings and high military officials both standing and seated, in which we can appreciate variations in style, as well as cube statues; fragments of reliefs and paintings of temples and tombs; defensive weapons used by the army: axes, arrows, shields; sarcophagi; canopic vases; stelae; writing and measuring tools ... all belonging mostly to the Middle and New Kingdoms.

The Luxor Museum is one of the most modern museums in Egypt. Although it is not as large as the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, the tourist can enjoy it better because it is certainly better conditioned and illuminated. Located on the ledge, halfway between the temples of Luxor and Karnak, also the Museum has a small but select collection of pieces from the end of the Ancient Empire to the Mamluk era, but most of it comes from Temples and cemeteries of Luxor.

The best to see in Luxor  Musume 

Piece No. 223 One of the most interesting pieces in the museum is the wall of Akhenaton. It is a set of small sandstone blocks called (talatat) or "three", probably because its height and length were about three sections. They were part of Amenhotep IV's contribution to the Temples of Karnak before he changed the name to replace Akhenaton, and left Thebes to Tall El Amarna, or Akhetaton. After his death, his buildings were demolished and the blocks of about forty thousand were used to fill the ninth pylon of Karnak. They were found in the late 1960s. The fragment shows Akhenaton with his wife Nefertiti and scenes of temple life. This is the only example we have for the decoration of a temple of Aten.
