el-Shahawy, Abeer

Luxor Museum : the glory of ancient Thebes / Abeer El-Shahawy - Giza, Cairo, Egypt : Farid Atiya Press , 2005 - 144 p. : illus. ; 23 cm

Museums that contain fine collections of Egyptian antiquities can be found throughout the world, however, Luxor Museum, though neither the oldest (founded 1976) nor the biggest, houses a very fine collection that is beautifully exhibited and illuminated. The book tells the reader about some of the masterpieces found in ancient Thebes and is a valuable guide for anyone wishing to explore these treasures. There are glorious examples of ancient artefacts from tombs and temples in Karnak and Luxor, and the Deir el Bahri mummy cache.
