Accidental Mummies of Guanajuato Exhibition

They were miners, fathers, soldiers, farmers and children. They are revered by their descendents and have been visited by millions. They are rare, shocking…and completely accidental. Now, for the first time ever, they have come to the United States in an all-new touring exhibition, The Accidental Mummies of Guanajuato.

Featuring 36 accidental mummies on loan from the Museo de las Momias de Guanajuato, the exhibition combines science, history and cultural anthropology to immerse the visitor in the world of a Mexican city over 100 years ago where deceased residents naturally mummified in their crypts.

Meet these rare accidental mummies, learn about life in their thriving community, discover the real forensic technology that helps scientists analyze them, and explore a rich culture that reveres and celebrates them. For ages 13 years and older.

Tickets may be purchased up to 48 hours in advance of your visit. You may purchase your tickets the same day at our Visitor Services desk.
