Ancient mummy, National Anthropology & Archeology Museum, Lima, Peru

An ancient mummy seems to cringe in sorrow or intense feeling at the Museo Nacional de Antropologia y Arqueologia (National Anthropology and Archeology Museum), Lima, Peru, South America. Its attitude of hands clutching head resembles Edvard Munch's "The Scream," one of the most recognizable images in art history. UNESCO honored the Historic Centre of Lima on the World Heritage List in 1988 and 1991.
