Mummies( Anne Cusack / Los Angeles Times )
The exhibition "Mummies of the World," premiering July 1 at the California Science Center, showcases mummies from different ancient civilizations. Made up of specimens loaned from 20 international institutions, the show highlights how mummies were created and all that can be learned from these relics of the past.
Here, the mummy of Veronica Orlovits, who lived some 200 years ago, is dressed in a replica of the gown she was buried in in a church crypt in Vac, Hungary. Also in the exhibition are her husband Michael and their baby son Johannes Orlovits. |
