The Accidental Mummies of Guanajuato
-
They were miners, fathers, soldiers, farmers and children. They are revered by their descendents and have been visited by millions. They are rare, shocking...and completely accidental. Now, for the first time ever, they arrive in the United States in an all-new touring exhibition. 'The Accidental Mummies of Guanajuato.' is a 10,000 square-foot exhibition that will debut at the Detroit Science Center. Featuring 36 accidental mummies on loan from the Museo de las Momias de Guanajuato, the exhibition combines science, history and cultural anthropology to immerse the visitor in the world of a Mexican city over 100 years ago where deceased residents naturally mummified in their crypts. This will be the very first time these mummies have been seen outside of Mexico.
