DEVOTED TO MUMMIES DEAREST A CAREER SPENT REFURBISHING EGYPTIAN ARTIFACTS
2003
Overview
Armed with cotton swabs, paint brushes, picks, and a vacuum, Mimi Leveque of Waltham compares her work to traveling in time. Leveque makes her living restoring 2,000-year-old mummies. Last week, she toiled in the basement of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, inspecting an ancient Egyptian mummy mask under soft light emanating from a black desk lamp. The painted face of the woman she was working on dates back to the first century, and Leveque will make sure it survives into the next. 1.
