520 2 $a"This book recounts a fascinating tale of the mystery of the Albany mummies from their early acquisition in 1909, to their beloved status as Albany's Egyptian priest and priestess in the mid-twentieth century, to the present, when their mystery was solved through the intersection of historical scholarship and science and technology. Key to this story was the planning and installation of a major exhibition called GE Presents: The Mystery of the Albany Mummies, organized by the Albany Institute of History & Art and on view from September 21, 2013 until June 6, 2014"--Foreword.
520 2 $a"The story of the Albany mummies centers on two ancient Egyptian mummies and their coffins, one dating from the 21st Dynasty and the other from the Ptolemaic Period. In 1909, the mummies and coffin bottoms were purchased from the Cairo Museum by Albany Institute board member Samuel Brown, a purveyor of coffees, teas, and spices in Albany"--Albany Institute website.
