How many were made No one is certain how many mummified bodies were removed from the crypts, but 107 mummies are presently on display in Guanajuato's mummy museum. Some are clothed, some aren't. Some are old, others are only infants. Where to see them The Guanajuato mummies are on display in the Museo de las momias high on a hill overlooking the town. Train service from Mexico City is no longer available at this point.
Tour buses arrive regularly.
Where to find more information about them Not much information is available about the mummy museum in Guanajuato, but I visited it myself and describe it in How to Make a Mummy Talk . Your best bet is to arrange your own trip there and get a look for yourself. The city is beautiful, and you can buy some marzipan mummy candy to munch on while you stroll through the streets. Another recent book with information about the Guanajuato mummies is Christine Quigley's Modern Mummies , an excellent survey of strange and mysterious mummies around the world. All material on this website is intended primarily for children, educators, and parents.
