📰 "Ancestral remains should no longer be displayed in UK museums, say MPs"

A parliamentary group has published a report called Laying Ancestors to Rest. It condemns the sale of human remains and their display.

The report is mostly concerned with colonial crimes and wants law changes that allow national museums to repatriate remains they hold.

The carved faces show different skin tones, hair decoratiions, headdresses, and painted wrapping decor. Original caption from The Guardian: "Egyptian mummies at the British Museum, London.
