The Mummy Chamber

There is no news these days so I figured it was time for some fun and found myself in the Brooklyn museum's "Mummy Chamber". The chamber contains everything you would expect to find in such a place including an interactive section where you can look under the wrappings of a number of the museums mummies.

A well done and fascinating presentation and I particularly enjoyed the video of the re wrapping of one of their mummies.
