On the 4th of May 2013, I had the privilege to travel to Singapore and visit the "Mummy: Secrets of the Tomb" exhibition. This was my first Egyptian exhibition, so I did not know what to expect except that I would have an amazing time, since one of the top 5 items on my bucket list is to visit an Egyptian exhibition. (checked!)
The exhibition features over a 100 artefacts including 6 mummies - 4 human mummies and 2 animal mummies. The main star of the exhibition is a priest from the 22nd Dynasty (Thebes); Nesperennub. His coffin has not been opened and his mummy remains wrapped, but thanks to technology, the exhibition begins with a film of the virtual unwrapping of Nesperennub.
If you are in Singapore or nearby enough to travel to Singapore, from now till 4 November 2013, and are interested in history or just curious, I highly suggest you take a trip down the Egyptian afterlife and visit the exhibition at the ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands.
