Museum removes mummy due to "lack of consent" from the deceased
The Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow has removed an Egyptian mummy from its permanent exhibition due to a lack of consent from the deceased. This decision also affects other mummified remains, including a head, hand, and foot from the Valley of the Kings. The museum has adopted a new ethical code that requires documented consent for displaying human remains. A spokesperson emphasized that remains can only be exhibited with informed consent from the deceased or their descendants. Kelvingrove attracts 1.3 million visitors annually and houses a diverse collection of art and archaeological artifacts.
