The Mummification Museum, located on the banks of the River Nile to the north of Luxor Temple in the Egyptian city of Luxor, is intended to provide visitors with an understanding of the ancient art of mummification. Ancient Egyptians applied embalming techniques to many species, not only to dead humans. Very interesting mummies of cats, fish and crocodiles are on display in this unique museum, where one can also get an idea about the tools used.

It was opened by President Hosni Mubarak in 1997.
