The museum contains a small but carefully selected number of beautifully displayed exhibits. Graeco-Roman, Coptic and Islamic artefacts are included, but the overwhelmomg emphasis is on the pharaonic period.There are a few items from Tutankhamun's tomb, including a funerary bed, model boats and a golden cow's head. The other contents of the tomb are all in the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo. Reliefs of Akhenaton and Nefertiti worshipping Aton, and scenes of their palace life are also displayed.
Most outstanding, however, are the black basalt and pink granite statues and busts of jug-eared Sesostris III of the Twelfth Dynasty and of the Eighteenth Dynasty pharaos Tuthmosis III, Amenophis II and Amenophis III.The craftmanship is superb, and you can feel the sculptors' enjoyment of working with the graceful curves of crowns, necks and waists.
