I worked in a small rural historical house, were they kept everything
with the remotest connection to their area.
One local couple had been on vacation 1000 miles away and passed a
convoy of circus trucks that had overturned. So they proudly presently
the museum with a fairly large chunk of elephant skin, from an victim of
the crash.

As Collection Manager, I would have had it up for deaccessioning, but we
would have fought over what to do with it.
