Mummy: the inside story

September 30, 2005 - February 12, 2006

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.
