Mummies?
 

On Sunday I'm going to the mummy exhibit at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. I'm so jazzed for this, I've always been interested in ancient Egypt and mummies. I know no one probably gives a shit, but I'm very excited about this and wanted to share. If I'm able to take pictures (which I probably won't) I'll post them.

Anybody else have plans for the weekend?

Sounds great. Hope you have a good time, Marge.

I will be spending the weekend at home with a would-be Mummy, if that counts. :cool:

Of course it counts!! You need to take good care of that Mummy-to-be! :)

Awesome! Hope you enjoy it. Last time I was at an exhibit, turns out, there were a lot of interesting pieces of information and large amounts of history attached to each piece.

Though I generally didn't give a crap. All I wanted was mummies :P .

Anyway, can't wait to see the pics :D

Thanks, Zombieness! I'm really hoping I'll be able to take pictures!

That sounds really cool. I'd love to see a mummy exhibit. I'm very interested in seeing the pics.

Sounds like a great exhibit.

I remember when I was about 7 years old, visiting the Vatican museum. They had quite an extensive exhibit of ancient Egyptian artefacts, including a number of mummies.

Anyway, one of the mummies was presented partially unwrapped, and very well preserved. It totally freaked out my tender mind - had nightmares about that! :D Still remember it quite clearly.

The last time I was at The Franklin Institute they had a Star Wars exhibit, with all the costumes and droids and stuff like that. It was very cool....but you couldn't take pictures. I'm really hoping I can take pictures this time. Here's the link for it:

I didn't know mummies were copyrighted. ;)

Most museums have a no pix policy- they want you to buy the official ones.
