Re covering mummies - not sure exactly if it is like that - suspect
chinese whispers -
i went to the public consultation on changes to the display and afaik
the majority felt the display was disrepectful
- I not sure if its changed yet - but because of the academic interest
in biomedical archaeology the skeletons were stripped of
all grave goods and our of coffins and shown in a way that the
"deceased" would surely be unhappy about -
the argument made by HAD would be that museum displays should take some
account of the beliefs of the
deceased (as is done with Christian burials) -
respectful display is possible without spoiling the experience.
I suspect that some archaeologist dislike having their privileges
challenged by the laity and thus wilfully distort the views
of those who want something different in museum practice (see my essay
in Wanton Green collection on Museum or Mausoleum)
There can be an unholy alliance between archaeology and the political
establishment that means distorted views get an airing
