The National Museum of Health and Medicine is currently reviewing our
     policies regarding the display of human remains, both wet tissue and
     skeletal specimens, on our exhibit floor.  We are requesting input
     from other museums regarding their policies and discussions on
     displaying or the decision not to display human remains.  Please note
     that this is not a NAGPRA related issue as our exhibits focus on the
     display of normal and pathological anatomical specimens.

     We are also interested in any information concerning creative
     solutions to the safe storage of wet tissue specimens and the
     development of a preservation strategy for this material.  Replies can
     be posted to the list or sent directly to us at
