CMSMC Book Club: Mummified by Angela Stienne

The Coalition of Master's Scholars on Material Culture

Join CMSMC and Dr. Angela Stienne to discuss her new book Mummified, which explores controversial cases of mummies in European museums

Dr Angela Stienne is a cultural historian, museum researcher and storyteller. In 2016 she created the website Mummy Stories, which aims to reshape the discussion around human remains in museums by collecting people’s stories of their own encounters. She also founded The Lyme Museum, a small independent online museum with touring exhibitions, exploring, sharing, and amplifying the voices of individuals with invisible illnesses and disabilities.Her new book Mummified explores the curious, unsettling and controversial cases of mummies held in French and British museums. From powdered mummies eaten as medicine to mummies unrolled in public, dissected for race studies and DNA-tested in modern laboratories, there is a lot more to these ancient remains than first meets the eye.
