Exhibition: Mummy - The Inside Story

It is very nice to see that Nesperrennub is still generating enthusiasm as he travels: "The British Museum's Mummy: The Inside Story has given me an insight into the long and often controversial history that shrouds the collection. As a popular exhibit, it has attracted thousands of visitors in its run in the U.K. and U.S. It finally made its first visit in Asia at The National Science Museum of Tokyo (Oct. 7, 2006 to Feb. 2, 2007) and is now drawing to a close at the Kobe City Museum (March 3 to June 17). In Kobe alone, the exhibit has already attracted more than 10,000 viewers. . . . I left the exhibit thrilled at the discovery of technology in making the past so alive for the individual nowadays. I have never thought that the wonders of antiquity can be stored in bits and images and played over and over again just like another song. Never before has it been so accessible."
