Mummification Museum
The Mummification Museum is located in the Egyptian city of Luxor. It stands on the corniche, overlooking the River Nile, to the north of Luxor Temple.
The museum is intended to provide visitors with an understanding of the ancient art of mummification. The Ancient Egyptians applied embalming techniques to many species, not only to dead humans. Mummies of cats, fish and crocodiles are on display in this unique museum, where one can also get an idea of the tools used.
It was opened by President Hosni Mubarak in 1997.
