Luxor Museum, Egypt
Located in the upper reaches of Egypt, Luxor can be describe like "the largest open-air museum". Luxor is famous for its incredibly beautiful and stunning tourist attractions, as well as an abundance of ancient monuments and temples.
Among these challenges for visitors and tourists and a value for the Egyptians is the Luxor Museum. In all sincerity, it can be described as the museum with the richest collection of objects which are related with the funeral ceremonies and rites, as well as statues found near the city itself. Antiques in the Luxor Museum are not missing, of course, not as much as in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, but still this contributes to its good name among other museums.
Stepping on its doorstep through the new wing, opened in 2004, visitors of the Luxor Museum enter the world of the great pharaoh warriors of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Dynasties. The side hall of the wing houses a statue that is believed that belongs to Ramses I. One part of the Luxor Museum is dedicated to a collection of valuable finds which are dating from different eras, as the major attraction is the collection of 16 statues discovered during various excavations by chance.
Among them is the pride of the collection - the 2.5 m high statue of the builder of the temple of Luxor Amenhotep III. The Luxor Museum also has a place for the double statue of the crocodile god Sobek, who embraced the young Amenhotep III.
The Luxor Museum also houses a collection dedicated to the reign of Amenhotep IV, who is a son and a heir of Amenhotep III, and who turned everything upside down during his reign over Egypt. His statue unadulteratedly describes his characteristic cat eyes, elongated face and sensual lips.
The Luxor Museum, apart from its collections, is impressive with something else. In it people will come across something very rare in Egypt - beautifully lit, aesthetically arranged and detailed and marked exhibits.
