| Mummification Museum at Luxor |
Mummification Museum recently introduced in the visitors centre in Luxor, it is the only one of its sort in the
world. It houses 150 souvenirs of mummies, coffins, tools the ancient Egyptian
physician used, and house paintings corresponding the religious funerary
rituals. The story of this museum started when the Egyptian president
established that the obligation of the former visitor middle building was to be
transmitted from the tourism ministry to that of culture (and, specifically,
the Supreme Council of Antiquities). It was opened in 1997.
