Discover the mysterious mummies of Guanajuato
Would you dare to spend a day among mummified corpses that are more than 150 years old and that also have mysterious legends, because at the Mummies Museum of Guanajuato, in Mexico, you can do it.
A peculiar place with unusual guests, as it has a macabre collection made up of ancient mummified human bodies that were extracted from the old Santa Paula cemetery.
This makes this museum the most mysterious in the country and one of the most visited by curious tourists. It all started when the body of the French doctor Dr. Remigio Leroy, the first and oldest in the collection, was exhumed in the Santa Paula cemetery, a place with a magical tradition and attraction due to its niches, tombs and uniquely designed mausoleums.
This attracted thousands of curious people, experts and tourists; however, as it was informal and even clandestine, the museum was created, which today houses more than 100 mummies.
But don’t worry, the exhibit has an introductory video about what death means to Mexicans and their traditions to honor and acknowledge it. Keep in mind that photographs have an extra cost at the museum.
