Aswan Nubian Museum Pot EG052959JHP Aswan Egyptian Nubian Museum Kerma Pottery with black and red distinctive colours from the nature of its firing an interesting example on display inside this modern 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.
