A cool exhibition - Animal Mummies Of Ancient Egypt - opened at Hertfordshire's Walter Rothschild Zoological Museum on Monday.

What do you think of the exhibition?
We did a bit on the Egyptians at school. It's really interesting to see the animals so close up. It's amazing that they are so well preserved after thousands of years.

What do you think of the exhibition?
The idea of mummifying animals is a bit strange and gruesome, but they are interesting to look at. The rest of the museum is really good too.

What do you think of the exhibition?
I think it's amazing because you never see animals like this. You usually see them in a zoo, so it's interesting to see mummified animals.

My favourite exhibit is the mummified cat. You don't see something like that every day! I've been drawing a picture of it.

What do you think of the exhibition?
I like the crocodile mummy. I didn't expect to see that. I thought it was interesting that the Ancient Egyptians put jewellery on crocodiles.

What do you think of the exhibition?
I've been reading about how they took out the intestines and other organs before mummifying the animals. It made me cringe a bit, but it was fascinating.
