SOULFUL CREATURES: Animal Mummies in Ancient Egypt

Over a decade ago, uncatalogued boxes containing 30 animal mummies were rediscovered in the Egyptian collection storage vaults of the Brooklyn Museum. Today, this mysterious facet of Ancient Egyptian culture is revealed in Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art’s newest exhibition, Soulful Creatures: Animal Mummies in Ancient Egypt. In partnership with the Brooklyn Museum, the exhibition features nearly 100 authentic artifacts including animal mummies, CT scans and x-rays, ancient Egyptian art, and artifacts related to their ritual significance. Soulful Creatures explores dynamic insights into the origins, techniques, and rituals of animal mummification, providing many provocative theories to explain these ancient practices.

Soulful Creatures: Animal Mummies in Ancient Egypt is organized by Yekaterina Barbash, Curator of Egyptian, Classical, and Ancient Near Eastern Art, and Edward Bleiberg, Curator Emeritus, Brooklyn Museum.

About this event

Animals played vital roles within the lives and afterlives of ancient Egyptians whether as pets, sources of food, or as symbols of the gods. Millions of animals were mummified and interred over 4,000 years, and yet, this important facet of Egyptian culture has not been widely studied, exhibited, or understood. Using art history, archaeology, and forensic science to contextualize these ancient devotional practices, Soulful Creatures is the first major exhibition to focus on the mummification of animals. Drawn entirely from the Brooklyn Museum’s renowned Egyptian Collection, this exhibition presents mummies of cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and more in context with artifacts portraying the relationships between ancient Egyptians, animals, and their gods.
