Check out the National Museum of Health and Medicine http://www.medicalmuseum.mil/
Here's more on Robert Kennicott, currently on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in the "Objects of Wonder" exhibit: https://hyperallergic.com/378602/how-a-smithsonian-collectors-skeleton-became-part-of-the-exhibition/
The National Museum of Natural History has an exhibit that includes mummies, called "Eternal Life in Ancient Egypt": http://naturalhistory.si.edu/exhibits/eternal-life/mummy-science.cfm .  For a virtual tour (uses flash), go here http://naturalhistory.si.edu/VT3/NMNH/z_NMNH-016.html , then find the museum map and click on the second floor, then toward the left on the map look for the little mummy graphic, and there are 3 dots you can click on called Egypt 1, 2 and 3 for the tour.
"Written in Bone" was an exhibit at the National Museum of Natural History from 2009 - 2014; it still survives as a website: http://anthropology.si.edu/writteninbone/
The Hall of Western Cultures at the National Museum of Natural History, which closed in 2010, included skeletal material.
You can find archived "virtual tours" of Western Cultures (check out "Western Cultures 1") and Written in Bone here (will need to scroll down till you find them): http://naturalhistory.si.edu/VT3/list-3-past.html . Note that the virtual tours use flash.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Exhibitions with Human Remains


Hello everyone,



I am a student at Baylor University in the Museum Studies Program. I am currently gathering research for my master's thesis. I am looking for help locating museums around the United States that have done exhibitions that included human remains recently or within the last 30 years. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.



Please reply directly to me ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>).



Thank you,



Krista Barnum
