In Victorian England, there were mummy "unwrapping parties." Really ~ think about it: How fun would that be if the desecration and historical-artifact angles never entered your sphere of thought? And before you judge the lords and ladies too harshly, understand that in the United States, Egyptian mummies were used as kindling or for making paper (http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/egyptians/mummies_01.shtml).
   Visitors to a museum in Sweden can enjoy their own unwrapping party without having to worry about destroying items of historical significance. Courtesy of modern technology, they can digitally unwrap the mummy of one Neswaiu, who lived in Thebes in the third century BCE. (Of course, the issue of an ancient individual's right to privacy remains) (story, video): http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/egyptians/mummies_01.shtml
