It was really quite a unique experience, being able to watch the whole thing unfolding (pardon the pun) live on Twitter. Anyone who was following had the opportunity to jump in and ask questions with several people asking about the linen and the techniques used.

When it comes to making museums participatory, with projects like this, Brooklyn Museum wins hands down!

Of course, this is a more recent mummy, by Egyptian standards, but the level of preservation is really incredible. I was surprised by the beauty of the linens themselves. Really a fantastic story. Thank you for sharing.
