Mummies of the World
Unwrap the science of mummies with your students. Explore the scientific study of mummies and the cultural insights that science helps expose with a field trip to Mummies of the World. Through the use of modern scientific techniques, the mummies in the exhibition have revealed extraordinary details about the past: how tall people were, how long they lived, what kinds of food they ate and what diseases they suffered from. Clothing, jewelry and other personal artifacts placed on or with a mummy can tell us about the person's status and lifestyle, as well as the values, beliefs, and attitudes of the culture in which they lived.
