9/27/2013 Mummies Of The World: The Exhibition 10:00am - 5:00pm

While enjoying a visit to the Inner Harbor, be sure to wrap up your trip at the Maryland Science Center with an exploration of “Mummies of the World,” the largest exhibition of real mummies and related artifacts ever assembled. This compelling collection, presented with reverence and dignity, includes a German nobleman and Egyptian animal mummies, as well as one of the oldest mummy infants ever discovered. In a remarkable state of preservation, this Peruvian child mummy has been radiocarbondated to earlier than 4,500 B.C. – more than 3,000 years before the birth of King Tut. And if that’s not enough, meet the Orlovitses, a three-member mummified family from 18th-century Hungary.

State-of-the-art multimedia and hands-on interactive stations transform audiences into amateur “mummyologists,” able to experience how mummies are created and where they originated.

Mummies aren’t just the stuff of horror movies – they provide a window into the past, letting us take a closer look at the history and culture of fascinating regions of the world, such as Asia, Oceania, South America, Europe and Ancient Egypt.

“Mummies of the World” runs from September 27, 2013, to January 20, 2014. After its conclusion at the Maryland Science Center, the exhibition will not be available for viewing anywhere else in the United States.
