The examination of human remains in museum collections reveals a growing controversy over the past thirty years, driven by key figures in the sector. This movement seeks to redefine the role of museums, reflecting a broader crisis of cultural authority and a desire to distance contemporary practices from historical legacies. The book delves into the implications of this shift, exploring the ethical and cultural dimensions surrounding the treatment of human remains in museums.
