An intimate but very interesting museum at the Institute of Anthropology. A unique collection of scientific exhibits, in many cases no longer available today <\/p>\n
One of the most interesting exhibits of the Museum of Man is the mummy of a Wroclaw “princess.”<\/p>\n
It was brought back as early as the end of the 16th century in a wave of emerging cabinets of curiosities, along with two other mummies. Those others were lost, probably ground up – mummy powder was considered a cure for many ailments. The girl’s mummy was found in 1945 in the basement of a pharmacy on Solny Square. It ended up in the Department of Anthropology, where it was almost destroyed. <\/p>\n
After examination, it turned out to be the mummy of a young woman of about 20 years. She has been dubbed “the princess of Wroclaw.” It is partially destroyed, probably the robbers checked to see if there were any precious ornaments preserved on the neck. <\/p>\n
Three rooms featuring exhibits on the anatomy of the skeletal system, burials, and human evolution.<\/p>\n
It is possible to order a lecture or workshop for organized groups (after prior reservation).<\/p>\n","categories":["Museums and galleries","Museums"],"lat":51.11358440000001,"lng":17.0349995}
