Now open in the Fleet's IMAX Dome Theater: MUMMIES: Secrets of the Pharaohs.

Narrated by Christopher Lee, MUMMIES tells the story of one of the greatest archaeological finds in modern history: the late 19th century discovery of a cache of 40 royal mummies, including the legendary pharaoh Rameses the Great! Can knowledge gained from ancient mummy DNA advance modern medical science?
