Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya - CSMVS, (formerly the Prince of Wales Museum of Western India), will showcase a remarkable exhibition ‘Mummy - the Inside Story’ from 21st November, 2012 onwards for four months. This exhibition is presented through the collaboration of the British Museum and CSMVS and is brought to Mumbai by BP and Reliance Foundation. The exhibition will take visi
tors on a 3D immersive experience into the coffin of Nesperennub, a priest who lived and died in Egypt nearly 3,000 years ago. This path-breaking exhibition with its non-invasive technique of X-rays, CT-scans and advanced computer technology takes viewers through a ‘virtual unwrap’,’ a 3D journey combined with dramatic reconstructions of the priest’s life and mummification in ancient Egypt, portraying its every feature using a forensic approach. In addition, the exhibition is designed with a five minute pre-show film giving context to his historical and social background. Proudly presented by The British Museum & Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya - CSMVS, (formerly the Prince of Wales Museum of Western India).
