Liverpool's World Museum is holding a short exhibition called Animal Mummies Revealed that runs from October 14 - February 26, 2017. The exhibition's collection of animal mummies features many different mummies from cats to snakes, crocodiles, and every type of bird. Animal mummies were given as votive offerings to the various gods by pilgrims hoping to receive the god's blessings.
The exhibition is in partnership with the Manchester Museum, Glasgow Museums, and the University of Manchester. Also, check out the Liverpool World Museum site, as it has lots of fine artifacts on the site and some great activities for children and their schools.
