Large Turn Out for Padihershef

About 450 people stopped by yesterday to witness the conservation of Padihershef. What a great turn out! This included media from Boston Globe, NPR and more.

Mimi Leveque worked on removing salts  (also known as efflorescence) from Padihershef's face.

We will continue for this Saturday and Sunday to finish the coffin, his burial shroud, and rehouse the mummy into his new stable display case. This will help protect Padi from future damage and help to preserve him for future generations.

What an exciting time for Padihershef and the MGH Hospital.
