Mexico has a mummy museum. Not actually 1000 or 3000 year old mummies. Here, dead bodies from graves are taken and preserved in a state to make it a fashionable museum for horro freaks. All mummies so displayed have mouths open, eyes open, and have their hands stretched towards you looking very much like those seen in the film 'Mummy part 1 and 2'

This museum was on show as the No.6.... in Discovery Travel & Living channel's 'Best 10 destinations in Mexico' show.

The interesting fact is... I heard on the show that there is a rule around that place in mexico or closeby, wherein if relatives fail to pay rent for the tombs continuously for 5 years, the body can be dug out and displayed.

But.. wondering will the body not have decomposed fully to bones in 5 years. does it take longer than that. Could this information be a hoax.

Anyways.. there's a mummy museum if you someday tour Mexico. And all these place in Mexico have strange, kind of, non-western names.. This museum I think is in a place 'Guanajuato' in Mexico.
