July 9, 2005 January 23, 2006

The Mysterious Bog People is the first-ever international touring exhibit to explore 10,000 years of rituals and sacrifice in northwestern Europe. It features seven bog mummies and over 400 artifacts that have never been displayed in the United States. The Mysterious Bog People is the first time so many bog mummies and offerings have been brought together, providing valuable insight into the practices of ancient Europeans.

Carnegie Museum of Natural History will be the first and only museum in the eastern United States to exhibit The Mysterious Bog People. Among the exhibit's most extraordinary artifacts are the bog mummies. The ancient human remains in The Mysterious Bog People exhibit provide museum visitors a rare opportunity to stand face-to-face with people who lived thousands of years ago."
