I've seen some of those mummies for sure. I think they had them in Bolton Museum, I think, for a while at least. They were quite big in the early 20th century, weren't they? There was one in Paris that was really famous and there's quite a lot of famous works were based on it. Definitely Munch's The Scream was based on it — he saw this mummy and thought, I'm going to paint something like that.
