Natural Science Center, Greensboro has an exhibition of mummies of Guanajuato, Mexico. I went to see them on the very first day. It is very interesting that how these mummies were formed. Only 1 in 100 bodies buried in Guanajuato ever experience the mysterious
process of natural mummification. Unlike bodies that are "artificially"
mummified through an embalming and wrapping process, accidental mummies
form only in certain climates and conditions.
The Accidental Mummies of Guanajuato features 30 mummies on loan from the Museo de las Momias de Guanajuato (Museum of The Mummies).
Here is the press release of this exhibition:

The exhibition will stay open until Dec. 30, 2012.
