Mummy Project Research

Mummy Project Research is headquartered inside the Fatebenefratelli Hospital, Milan. Its mission is to facilitate the study of ancient organic remains and especially human and animal mummies. Its multifaceted team employs the most advanced techniques of medical and forensic investigation. The team specializes in gathering all available information and analyzing it according to the appropriate scientific principles. All studies undertaken by MPR are carried out with maximum respect for mummified human subjects and without injury to physical remains. In this way, MPR can recreate a fully rounded identity for any mummy it studies and recapture the historical and cultural context in which the individual lived and died. The MPR does its work with passion and commitment, to serve the needs of universities, museums, foundations and cultural organizations.
