Chicago’s Field Museum began a precarious conservation project to
restore the 2,500-year-old mummy of a 14-year-old Egyptian boy that it’s
had in its possession since the 1920s.
The mummy is set to travel to
exhibitions at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and the
Denver Museum of Nature and Science, but before it can it has to undergo
risky repairs.
