Aswan Museum is located on the
famous Elephantine Island, in the southeast side of Aswan, Egypt,
It was opened to the public in 1912 and features Nubian artifacts saved during
the construction of the Aswan Dam.
In 1990, a new extension was added displaying findings discovered
on Elephantine Island itself, like utensils, weapons, pottery and mummies. The
museum is close to the Ruins of Abu, where excavations are still taking place.
