The city of Guanajuato in central Mexico has a remarkable attraction: a mummy museum(not recommended for visitors who are faint of heart) featuring over one hundred mummies that were formed naturally in the local cemetery. The Guanajuato mummies were exhumed between 1865 and 1989. The mummies here formed naturally.
The museum has a collection of over a hundred mummies. The mummies displayed in the museum were residents of Guanajuato who lived roughly from 1850 to 1950. Some of the mummies’ clothing remains while a few have only their socks; it becomes quite obvious that synthetic fibers endure while natural fibers disintegrate more rapidly.
