The body of Hannah Beswick was displayed as an exhibit in the museum from its opening in 1835, alongside other ‘Mammalia’ (including ancient mummies and taxidermied animals). Among Hannah’s companions at this time were the Egyptian mummy now known as Asru (presented to the Natural History Society by Robert and William Garrett in 1825 and still in the collection of the Manchester Museum), a number of ‘tattooed heads of New Zealand chiefs’, and Old Billy, a barge horse who worked for the Mersey and Irwell Navigation Company. In 1838, the society removed its members-only policy, allowing members of the public to view this mixture of local curiosities and exhibits of antiquarian and academic interest for a shilling (sixpence for the working classes). This chapter offers analysis of ‘The Manchester Mummy’ as a museum exhibit in Victorian Manchester. As no complete catalogue was ever produced for the museum, the chapter uses testimonies from contemporaneous visitors to examines the way in which Hannah Beswick’s body was displayed and contextualized within the museum setting, highlighting the vagueness of description and interpretation offered by the museum, as well as the ways in which the museum both shaped and reflected popular mores, including fears of body-snatching and premature burial.
