For years, the only way to learn about Egyptian mummies was to unwrap them - a destructive and ultimately irreversible process. With the help of modern technology scientists are now able to perform CT scans, which provide a look under the wrappings and inside the mummified remains. Mummy: the inside story dives into current technology and takes visitors on an exciting virtual tour beneath the sarcophagus lid - traveling to the past to learn more about life and death in Ancient Egypt.
This Exhibition is presented through the collaboration of The British Museum and the Houston Museum of Natural Science. It is underwritten locally by the Lillie and Roy Cullen Endowment Fund; The Hamill Foundation; the Houston Museum of Natural Science Volunteer Guild; Dr. and Mrs. Carl Vartian; The W. T. and Louise J. Moran Foundation; Albert and Ethel Herzstein Charitable Foundation; The Kroger Co.; Westside/Northside Lexus and the Examiner Newspaper Group.
