“Mummies Of The World” in Los Angeles, CA

On July 1st, “MUMMIES OF THE WORLD,” the largest exhibition of mummies and related artifacts ever assembled, makes its world debut at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, featuring a never-before-seen collection of 150 specimens, including real human and animal mummies and related artifacts from South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Egypt.

Made possible through the cooperation of 20 world-renowned museums, organizations and collections in seven countries, each contributing mummies and related artifacts.

The 12,000 square-foot exhibit offers visitors state-of-the-art multimedia and hands-on interactive stations along with 3-D animations, transforming audiences into amateur “mummyologists” as they learn how mummies are created, where they come from and who they were.
