Mummies Up Close: Inside the Penn Museum's Artifact Lab

The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology's Artifact Lab is an open laboratory where museum visitors get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of conservators at work.

Molly Gleeson, the Artifact Lab's project conservator, shares some of her current projects. Everything contains a bit of mystery--like the Egyptian Shabti dolls and box (on long-term loan from the Philadelphia Museum of Art) and a very fragile pre-dynastic mummy.
