Zusammenfassung: | The inventory of the mummy collection of the NHM in Vienna is small but very diverse. It includes mummified human remains from various countries and eras. The remains are not exhibited but stored in the anthropological department of the NHM. Within the framework of this thesis, the inventory and condition of the mummy collection get clarified. Information about the provenience are researched and documented. The collection is considered to be at risk of damage and loss, because of the old, inadequate storage concept. Focus of the thesis is the development and implementation of a new storage concept. Scientific analyses get conducted to determine the pollution burden of the mummies and their surrounding areas. Questions on the ethically correct handling of human remains in museums is discussed in a separate chapter. |
