Greetings!  

 

Be sure to come by the museum to visit the exhibit: Images of the Afterlife where two ancient Egyptian mummies from Field Museum collections come face-to-face with the public like never before. Recent CT scans and the latest 3D imaging revealed the mummies' age-old secrets to Museum scientists, and enabled an artist to create hyper-realistic sculptures portraying how these two individuals looked in life, thousands of years ago.  You won't want to miss this fascinating and unique glimpse into the past.    

 

Sincerely,

Your friends in C&R
