The Mummies Museum (Museo de las Momias de Guanajuato) in Guanajato, Mexico, exhibits a number of naturally occurring mummies of people who died during a cholera outbreak in the area in 1833.

The climate of this Mexican region provides a natural mummification process after bodies are interred. Many of the bodies were disinterred between 1870 and 1958 when local authorities began to impose a perpetual burial tax.

Because of the severity of the cholera outbreak, many of the bodies were thought to have been buried alive by accident, which resulted in some of the horrific expressions on the mummy bodies.
