It stands on the corniche, overlooking the west bank of the River Nile, in the central part of the city. Inaugurated in 1975, the museum is housed in a small, purpose-built building. The range of artifacts 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 labeling used. Then Transfer to Mummification museum It is located in the Egyptian city of Luxor. It stands on the corniche, in front of the Mina Palace Hotel, to the north of Luxor Temple, overlooking the River Nile 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.

A ROYAL PORTRAIT HEAD IN THE COLLECTION OF THE MICHAEL C. CARLOS MUSEUM AT EMORY UNIVERSITY by KAREN MARGARET BRYSON Under the Direction of Dr. Melinda Hartwig ABSTRACT This thesis discusses a small, red granite, Egyptian royal portrait head in the collection of the Michael C. Carlos Museum in Atlanta, Georgia. The head is determined to be a fragment from a group depicting the king in front of the monumental figure of a divine animal, probably a ram or baboon. Scholars have attributed the head to the reigns of various New Kingdom pharaohs, including Horemheb and Seti I, but on more careful examination its style demonstrates that it dates to the reign of Ramesses II (1304-1237 B.C.).

How Visitors Relate to The Egyptian and Te Papa Museums: The Other Roles of Traditional and Modern Museums A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University by Ahmed Abdel Fattah Lincoln University 2012 Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Phiolosphy. Abstract How Visitors Relate to The Egyptian and Te Papa Museums: the Other Roles of Traditional and Modern Museums by Ahmed Abdel Fattah The roles of traditional and modern museums have been scrutinised theoretically in museum studies, critical theory, cultural studies and other academic disciplines, but there is a lack of empirical insights into their actual functioning from the visitor’s perspective. The claims to simplify and reduce the functions of traditional and modern museums to either educational experiences and preservations or fun learning experiences, attests to the fallacy in the field. In order to offer an empirical interrogation of the other roles of traditional and modern museums, we need to answer the questions of why people go to traditional and modern museums, and what experiences they take from the museums.
