Elephantine Island Museum
The Elephantine Museum is located on Elephantine Island and has artifacts primarily related to
that area. The white clapboard house where the museum is located also has the distinction of
being the former villa of Sr. William Willcocks, the designer of the first Aswan dam. Some the
more notable exhibitions at the museum include a mummified Ram of Khnum, a golden bust of
Khnum, statues of Amenhotep III with goddesses and prehistoric schist basins.
