It's been voted as one of Mexico's best tourism attractions – but it's not one for the faint-hearted.
More than 4,000 visitors turn up every week to the Guanajuato Mummy Museum, which must rank as one of the most macabre and grotesque in the world.
Tourists pay £2 for a guided tour to see more than 100 dried human corpses all of which have been taken from the cemetery next door.
There are murder victims, criminals who were buried alive and infants laid to rest dressed up as saints – a Mexican belief that it will ease their passage to heaven.
