The Mummy Chamber, a long-term installation of more than 170 artifacts that explores the ancient Egyptians' complex funerary rituals and beliefs associated with mummification, opens at the Brooklyn Museum on May 5, 2010. Drawn entirely from the museum's vast collection, the presentation follows the appearance of the traveling exhibition To Live Forever: Art and the Afterlife in Ancient Egypt (February 12-May 2, 2010), its objects also derived from the institution's world-famous holdings.
The installation describes the ancient Egyptian corporal and supernatural methods used to protect mummies from harm, thus ensuring a pleasant afterlife for the deceased. As seen in To Live Forever..., the various kinds of mummification available to members of different social classes based upon their financial means are also examined in The Mummy Chamber.
