Introduction

The Luxor Museum is a refined, high-quality museum of ancient Egyptian artifacts. Unlike the vast Egyptian Museum in Cairo, this museum on the east bank of the Nile is known for its carefully selected, elegantly displayed, high-caliber collection—an ideal place to deeply appreciate the essence of ancient Egyptian (especially local Luxor) art and civilization. Luxor was the site of Thebes, the glorious capital of the New Kingdom, and has yielded many exquisite artifacts. The Luxor Museum concentrates precious finds from Luxor and nearby areas (such as Karnak and the Valley of the Kings). Its hallmark is "quality" rather than quantity: it selects a group of top, representative, artistically valuable artifacts and displays them in a modern, elegant, spacious way with good lighting and labels, so each treasure is fully appreciated—an excellent visiting experience. Highlights include superb statues of pharaohs and deities (some masterpieces of ancient Egyptian sculpture, such as Amenhotep III and Thutmose III), unearthed treasures, mummies, and a fine cache of statues from Karnak. It also displays some artifacts from the tomb of the boy-king Tutankhamun. Visiting this museum is a high-level, pleasant cultural experience in Luxor.
