Well, I guess the upside of this is that more museums are going to be able to afford a mummy exhibit. I mean, an old manequin, a bed sheet to cover it, and a sign that says “MUMMY” is considerably less expensive than a 2,700 relic that has to be concealed, anyway.

The deceased were never ASKED if they wanted to be put on public display for money naked.
It isn’t always about prudes. It can also be able showing disrespect for a corpse.

My two remaining subscriptions (over 50 years each) are
National Geographic and
Scientific American and
SciAm has become as much of a left-wing agitiator as is
NG. :-(
I will not renew either -- and I will let them have both barrels when I tell them why!

but what about the dead guy? I doubt he cares.
It's only been 2,500 years since he was left naked to rot

There is no need to display the mummies nude. What is the point?
I was incensed enough when long deceased relatives of mine were pried from their coffins beneath the floor of the Chapel at St. Mary's City, MD and shown naked on TV. My mother was horrified.
A little decency goes a long way, and it is not necessary to show the parts of a human corpse on display, (be it media or in a glass case), we would not want to show ourselves walking down the street.

"war museum"
My wife and I did exactly that two years ago. Well worth the visit. I also like the fact that all the national museums are free of charge.
