PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- "Return of the Mummies" may sound like a horror movie, but in this case there's a happy ending.
The "Secrets of the Silk Road" exhibit reopened Friday at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology with a pair of show-stopping ancient mummies, now that a mysterious dispute with the Chinese government has been wrapped up.
The drama has passed that had museum officials fearing their biggest exhibit in decades was doomed. But if you want your mummy, there's not much time. They'll be on display only until March 15, and the remaining artifacts will be on view until March 28. The full exhibit was initially slated to run until June 5; the hastened departure has not been explained.
