A four-metre high sarcophagus was put up in front of the Manitoba Museum on Tuesday.
Created by local artists Anne Armit and Kim Forrest, with help from Sputnik Architecture, the installation will sit in the museum’s courtyard to greet visitors during the upcoming exhibit, WRAPPED: The Mummy of Pesed.
The sarcophagus — Greek for a funeral receptacle commonly carved in stone — can be seen on Main Street between the museum and the Planetarium.
The exhibit will run October 25 to April 6, 2014.
