The display of mummies in museums is complicated. On one hand, mummies should be kept in museums because there are so few mummies left that were not looted from their tombs, and we can learn a lot about the ancient Egyptians from the mummies left behind. They are very important tools to unlocking what the Egyptians thought and believed about death, the afterlife, life on Earth, and their general religion.
However, the exhibition of mummies is complicated because, even though they are precious artifacts, they are also dead bodies of real people, removed from the place of their supposed eternal rest to be gawked at in museum galleries. This practice is slightly unethical when thought of in this manner. The exhibition of human remains in museums is something that museum professionals and museum scholars continue to grapple with and argue about today, and that will continue to be an issue long into the future.
