In the basement of the museum is the display of Royal Mummies. I think this is the museum’s highlight, but picture-taking was not allowed. There were 22 mummies of Egyptian Kings and Queens, just the mummies out of their caskets, and it is amazing to see that their bodies are still intact after 3000 years.
