Lost Egypt:  Ancient Secrets, Modern Science

Exhibit is currently in development. Content subject to change.

Lost Egypt now has its own web site! www.LostEgypt.org

Read the Lost Egypt Blog! Keep up with recent activities about the exhibition.

This interactive exhibit features a real human mummy and animal mummies, as well as scans, forensic facial reconstructions and - for the first time ever - three life-size rapid prototypes, displaying the mummy in various stages of "unwrapping." Visitors can explore the art and artifacts from the daily life and funerary culture of ancient Egypt and connect with real scientists working in Egypt through video interviews and photographs from the field.

With theatrical set design, realistic props and numerous hands-on activities, Lost Egypt makes an unforgettable connection between past and present customs, cultures and sciences. A thought-provoking journey for all ages, Lost Egypt is particularly inspiring for young people, illuminating the roles they can play as future archaeologists, scientists, engineers, technicians and life-long learners.
