I think you should return the mummys back to their original location, it is extremely disrespectful to remove them from their burial sites. African history is important too, you don't see bodies from the European history removed, destroyed or put on display have some respect.

i thought that the mummified animals were especially cool. the respect that the egyptians had for the animals, that they would bury them is something we could learn from. of course they did not treat all animals with respect, like hippos. it is also really interesting how much bettor egyptian mummification preserved bodies than christian burial. i am glad that mum dragged me here

The curation here feels more sensitive to the issues of displaying Mummies and the associated objects than that at the Met or say, the British museum.

Fantastic. I visited several museums in Manhattan and Brooklyn when I was here on business several months ago. I have returned for another business trip and this museum and exhibit is the only one I am visiting a second time.

I came here with my grandson for his project. I do not want to admit how long it has been since I visited a museum, but I am so glad I came. I forgot How much I enjoy it.
