I'd Like To See Some Mummies, Which Museum Has Them?

The Liverpool Museum has 18 human Egyptian mummies, though not all are on display. The collection also has over 70 animal mummies and the Liverpool Museum can be highly recommended. The British Museum has three rooms of Egyptian mummies (recently remodelled and reopened) and a display of one of the most famous bog bodies: the Lindow Man.  The museum's Egyptian mummy collections include approximately 78 humans and over 80 animals. This is a "don't miss" collection. The Manchester Museum (formerly University Museum) has one of the best displays in the world. Plus with Dr. Rosalie David as keeper of Egyptology and prolific author, you can read in great detail about many of the mummies you will see. The Manchester Museum is also highly recommended. The Hancock Museum in Newcastle displays two mummies and has a permanent exhibition called "The Land of the Pharaohs." The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford has nine Egyptian mummies, along with thousands of artefacts "crammed into 1930's style cases, and a complete stone tomb (shrine complex). Also in Oxford, the Pitt Rivers Museum displays two Egyptian mummies.  The museum is also famous for its shrunken-head collection.
