Located between the Karnak and Luxor temples, Luxor Museum has small but exquisite collections of pottery, jewellery, furniture, statues and stelae from the Theban temples and necropolis.
Among the most striking items displayed are those from the tomb of Tutankhamun, including the cow-goddess head and his funerary boats. Perhaps even more interesting are the statue of Tuthmosis III (circa 1436 BC) and the 283 sandstone blocks from the Karnak Temple. The mummies of Pharaohs Ahmose I and Rameses I are also on display.
