Corps exposé — Pedro Barbáchano
March 12 — April 25, 2026

In 2022, forensic anthropologists reconstructed the features of his forty-five-year-old face using 3D modeling techniques. Forty-six years earlier, in 1976, he travelled from the Cairo Museum to the Musée de l’Homme in Paris. In an experience akin to a posthumous existence, he was granted a passport and given a dignitary’s welcome.
