On a side note, having visited a mummy exhibition in one museum located in London before, I can see that the range of exhibits for this exhibition is rather comparable to the UK museum and an extensive one. With the added interactive programmes designed to engage the vistors, this has definitely made the journey of exploring the mysterious Egypt a more educational and enjoyable one.
