Britain has some of the world's greatest museums, and we can make a partnership with other museums in other parts of the world," Cameron said. The mummy display has been on since November 20 last and will run through the middle of next month (March 24), when the four mummies will return to London after a 50-nation tour. Addressing the gathering, RIL chairman Mukesh Ambani said 35,000 students and 40,000 others have already visited the mummy exhibition and we expect over 1 lakh visitors before the mummies return to the British Museum headquarters next month. This is the first collaboration between the British Museum and its city counterpart. The mummies on display include the coffin of Nesperennub, a priest who lived and died in Egypt nearly 3,000 years ago, and discovered at Luxor in the 1890s.
