This city’s most famous tourist attraction are the mummies of Guanajuato which are located in their own museum on the side of the municipal cemetery in the Tepetapa neighborhood. The cemetery is visible from the terrace of Casa Terraza. With a 10 minute walk up the hill, you’ll find the entrance. The mummy museum contains a collection of specimens that mummified naturally in the adjoining cemetery. Authorities began exhuming bodies in 1870, when a new law required residents to pay a tax for a perpetual burial. If families didn’t pay the tax, they exhumed the body. If the body was mummified, they stored it in a building above ground. People began paying to see them in the late 1800s. The burial tax was abolished in 1958. At first, the mummies were displayed in a poorly-lit tunnel that visitors entered with a torch or candle. Back then, visitors were all were allowed to touch the mummies! -EEK!
