MILWAUKEE, March 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Mummies of the World, the largest exhibition of mummies ever assembled welcomed its 300,000th visitor yesterday - just nine months after its July 1, 2010 world premiere in Los Angeles.

The Milwaukee Public Museum unveiled a woolly mammoth skeleton presumed to be some 14,500 years old, giving locals a chance to view one of the most intact specimens ever discovered in North America.

A 76-year-old Kenosha County man in whose cornfield the skeleton of a mammoth believed to be about 12,500 years old was dug up in 1994 is interested in selling it, and officials of the Milwaukee Public Museum are interested in it.

If you're silent and still, you can glimpse it. It's there in the barrens, seated among the musk oxen. It's reclined across a polar ice floe, listening to the walruses bellow and gnash tusks beneath whiskered muzzles.
