If the will had been there, the Temple of Merneptah could have been a place for great statues. But instead, the surving fragments of the statues are stored in a special house. It feels like a storage house, but this is the permanent exhibition.
Among the items that intrigued me most were a couple of statues with heads resembling a dog's (lower photo).
