More than 57,500 people have visited 'The Mummy's Enigma'.
The exhibition on the funerary rites of ancient Egypt will remain at MARQ until 17 October.
Until the start of the Fogueres de Sant Joan celebrations, the Archaeological Museum of Alicante (MARQ) received 57,842 visitors to see the exhibition The Enigma of the Mummy, which is a similar number to the international exhibition "The Beauty of the Body" that the MARQ hosted last year.
The exhibition The enigma of the mummy. El rito funerario en el antiguo Egipto (The enigma of the mummy. The funeral rite in ancient Egypt) opened on 26 March and will remain in Alicante until 17 October. The exhibition brings together more than 250 Egyptian pieces and is conceived as a detective story that reconstructs, through a spectacular staging, the story of Seramon and Ankhpakhered.
