Studying our ancestors reveals who they were, how they lived, and their stories.
Advances in science continue to uncover more. But should human remains be displayed in museums? Does scientific value outweigh ethical concerns? It’s a complex issue requiring careful thought. You’re invited to explore the evidence, share your views and reflect alongside the community.
Human remains will be displayed in a separate section of the exhibition. Join us to engage with the science, history, and ethics of displaying human remains, featuring research by expert osteologists, conservators, and archaeologists from Canterbury and Kent.
Content warning: This exhibition includes the display of human remains which some visitors may find upsetting.
In partnership with Canterbury Christ Church University and Canterbury Archaeological Trust.
