An exceptionally well-preserved mummy found in a bog is now on display at the National Museum in Copenhagen. It is the highlight of the museum's reopened permanent exhibition about Danish prehistory.
The exhibition also includes a large amount of unique archaeological finds. The "bog mummy" was discovered in northern Denmark in 1879 and has never been exhibited before.
The mummy, known as Huldremose woman, was a young woman who was killed as a sacrifice to the gods, approximately in the year 100.
