United States Museums: Tennessee

Gatlinburg: The "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" Museum may have a mummy in addition to some shrunken heads, though I can't confirm that. Thank you for the tip, Daniel Appleton.

Knoxville: The McClung Museum at the University of Tennessee (Knoxville) exhibits the mummy of a Theban priest, Dhed Khons Iwef - Ankh (on indefinite loan from the Oriental Institute in Chicago) as well as a number of sacred animal mummies & objects from Egyptian tombs. Free admission. Thank you, Daniel Appleton and TerishD.

Nashville: The Tennessee State Museum has a mummy-in-residence that was " mugged " by Union soldiers during the Civil War & searched for whatever valuables might be on it. Thank you, Daniel.
