The Egyptian Museum is where the famous bust
of Queen Nefertiti is housed. It is in remarkably good shape considering
it is displayed exactly as it was found in 1912! The other major item on display
is the Temple Gate of Kalabsha. Besides those the museum is filled with
many really nice Egyptian artifacts. I'm no Egyptologist but I still
found this museum very interesting.
The museum didn't mind photography but had a strict policy against
using a flash. This was the best my camcorder could do with available light.

I always heard the Egyptians loved their cats. |
Is it a baby? Is it a beetle? |

The "statue of two women" is actually a married couple from the New Kingdom. Both men and women wore elaborate wigs and linen garments.

Good job, man, I'm proud of your taste.I'm compleaty against the idea of giving back the artifacts:did you forget the politics of the integralists about ancient pagan images? It is risky to live so many civlisation testimony in their hands & besides it is good that many countries have important ancient egyptian collections : many people have direct acces to the ancient egyptian art avoiding lomg trips not always possible .
