Abstract
British research museums could soon be packing up and sending some of their most prized possessions back to their countries of origin. Last week a government panel concluded that aboriginal peoples should be able to reclaim human remains held by museums, from artwork that incorporates human hair to mummified bodies. The museums should consult aboriginal groups on every item of human remains to see if it should be repatriated, says the panel, made up of nine academics and museum administrators.
