There are the mummies you read about in grade school history books and the come-to-life mummies of pop culture—but can you fathom meeting a real, human mummy face-to-face? It’s an uncanny experience, to say the least, conjuring a gloomy mixture of mystery and awe. At Mummies of the World: The Exhibition, Frost Science hosts the largest touring collection of mummies ever assembled, aiming to transform your perception of mummies and the mummification process.

Wonder at the naturally and ceremonially mummified remains of 40 once-living humans and animals from Europe, South America and Ancient Egypt while learning about their storied lives and cultures. You’ll even come across MUMAB, the first replication of Egyptian mummification done on a body in 2,800 years, plus plenty of rare artifacts, interactive stations and intriguing philosophical prompts.
