The nationally recognized Mummies of the World exhibition will make its Greater Cincinnati debut
at the Cincinnati Museum Center on November 26, 2014. The exhibition The New York Times calls
"magical and mythical" presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience real mummies, real
science, real people. And the public agrees, with over 1.2 million visitors experiencing the exhibition
to date. The presentation in Cincinnati will mark the eleventh stop on the exhibition's exclusive
tour of the United States.
Mummies of the World is the largest exhibition of real mummies and related artifacts ever
assembled, showcasing a collection of naturally and intentionally preserved mummies. This
compelling collection, presented with reverence and dignity, includes ancient mummies and
important artifacts from around the world. Included in the collection are the Vac Mummies, a
mummified family from Hungary believed to have died from tuberculosis; the Baron Von Holz, a
German nobleman found tucked away in the family crypt of a 14th century castle wearing his best
leather boots; and MUMAB, also known as the Maryland Mummy, a modern-day ancient mummy
created by scientists in 1994 using the same methods as ancient Egyptians.
Through modern science and engaging interactives, this astounding collection of over 150
specimens and objects reveals how the scientific study of mummies provides a window into the lives
of ancient people, offering unprecedented insights into past cultures and civilizations. Declared
"fascinating, intriguing and inspiring" by NBC and "a must see" by Fox TV, Mummies of the World
will instill a sense of curiosity and wonder in each visitor.

November 26, 2014. Exhibit runs through April 26, 2015. Tickets will be available beginning
