	Luxor Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Luxor Museum is located in the Egyptian city of Luxor (ancient Thebes).
		The range of artefacts on display is far more restricted than the country's main collections in the Museum of Antiquities in Cairo; this was, however, deliberate, since the museum prides itself on the quality of the pieces it has, the uncluttered way in which they are displayed, and the clear multilingual labelling used.
		The royal mummies of two pharaohs – Ahmose I and Ramesses I – were also put on display in the Luxor Museum in March 2004, as part of the new extension to the museum, which includes a small visitor centre.

		Besides being one of the most visited sites in Luxor, Deir al-Bahari (where the Queen's Temple is situated) will go down in history as the scene of Egypt's worse ever tourist massacre, a consequence of which led to the on-the-air firing of Egypt's minister of interior by a visibly unnerved President Mubarak.
