Overview:

The open air museum contains a collection of smaller shrines and temples. This maily illustrates how diverse the karnak area was , and how many options there must have been for the devout.
Perhaps the most attractive to many people, is the Red Chapel of Hatshepsut, which I found impossible to transform into a proper photo. There is an interesting fact that every stone contains an individual design, instead of forming part of a larger design. This has made it difficult to reconstruct the chapel.
The gem of the collection is usually considered to be the white Chapel built by Sesostris 1 of the 12th dynasty , with its excellent bas-reliefs. A part from the shrines, the Open Air Museum contains a collection of bits and pieces and just a few complete statues. These are mainly Sekhmet statues from the Temple of Ptah. They seem to have been made by the same people, carving out the hundreds of Sekhmet statues, for the Temple of Mut.
