Human Remains & Museum Practice

Résumé du livre

"Reflects the discussions held at the Museum of London as part of an international symposium on the political and ethical dimensions of the collection and display of human remains in museums. It explores fundamental issues of collecting and displaying human remains, including ethics, interpretation and repatriation as they apply in different parts of the world ... to consider how issues including rights and ownership, belief systems, historical considerations, competing cultural models and defining public benefits should be dealt with by museums and how they shape and influence their policy, practices and procedural frameworks."--Publisher description.
