Travel Channel announces the first of a new 13-episode batch of its Mysteries at the Museum TV show will premiere Friday, July 1, 2016 at 9:00pm ET/PT.

There are so many museums, galleries, local archives and collections, each with numerous artifacts and stories to tell – we’ve barely scratched the surface! We reveal the coolest stories from around the world.”
