Why go
Luxor Museum gathers finds made in and around ancient Thebes, from statues of kings and gods to objects spanning much of Egyptian history. Part of its collection comes from Tutankhamun’s tomb, found in the Valley of the Kings in 1922. The mummy of Ramesses I, founder of the Nineteenth Dynasty, is shown in its Hall of the Glory of Thebes. The museum also stages exhibitions of new discoveries, such as restored finds from the Late Period tombs of South Asasif.
