There will be more than 150 artifacts on display and the science behind the study of mummies will let people see how they can be used to look into the past. There are mummies from ancient Egypt as well as Europe, Oceana, Asia, and South America those attending can see how mummification can occur due to natural processes, such as hot, dry desert sands or in an icy environment. The exhibition will be touring throughout the U.S. for three years and during that time will visit museums in six different U.S. cities.
