Aswan Museum Osiride Ramses EG052950JHP Aswan Egyptian Nubian Museum Statue of Ramses 11 from Garf Hussein temple colonnade built in the 19th Dynasty by Setau Viceroy of Kush in sandstone. En Exhibit inside a modern air-conditioned building whose foundations were laid in 1986, opened in 1997 and organised through UNESCO. Very low artificial light makes general photography difficult as well as affecting accurate colour balance. This now appears to be the only museum in Egypt where photography is still allowed although it is not easy as the ambient lighting is extremely subdued for conservation reasons.
