Note

In 1902, the Smithsonian, then known as the United States National Museum, received a mummy named Hapi-Men from Abydos, dating back to the Ptolemaic Period (30th Dynasty)

This mummy was donated by British archaeologist Sir William Flinders Petrie. Hapi-Men was buried with his dog, affectionately named Hapi-Puppy. In addition to Hapi-Men, the museum's collections also included "Ginger", a predynastic mummy preserved naturally in dry sand.

While specific details about the 1902 exhibition itself are limited, the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) currently features an ongoing exhibition titled "Eternal Life in Ancient Egypt". This exhibition showcases mummies from the Smithsonian's collection, exploring ancient Egyptian burial practices and beliefs about the afterlife. It also addresses the museum's efforts to ethically manage its collection of human remains, acknowledging that some past practices were incompatible with modern standards.
