The Museum's Natural History collections upstairs are partly closed due to renovation but there are still many of the Ancient Egyptian artefacts on show including the mummified cat, sacred ibis and snake! 'How on earth was a snake mummified?' I hear you ask - rolled up into a ball is the answer!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066540301734476613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8506758218662661544.post-76921385753369896742012-04-28T06:49:29.452-07:002012-04-28T06:49:29.452-07:00Aren't we lucky to have all these treasures on...Aren't we lucky to have all these treasures on our doorstep? I used to go to the museum nearly every week when I was younger. The PreRaphaelites were the main attraction but upstairs was the Natural History collection which I loved and there was also a whole room dedicated to Ancient Egypt. The mummy wrappings fascinated me - especially those of a cat and a sacred ibis! Those rooms are currently being renovated and are closed to the public. It'll be exciting to see what they've done to them!Linda Kemshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05575184486327210185noreply@blogger.com
