    You just need it to be not too humid and in the dark. I have seen mummies stored like under a bench FWIW.

      Really? I was assuming you'd need pretty significant climate control. Although it probably varies by type.

      Was that correct, or was that one of those OMG moments?

        Well I was invited to a medical museum after hours, thinking about it, the mummies in question wasn't Egyptian "thousands of years old", a really old one might probably need good temperature and humidity control and surveillance of other things like mold etc.

          Yes, and there's also bog or ice mummies that are preserved totally different ways. The Egyptian ones that are filled with preservatives and dehydrated probably do just need air that's super dry.
