Two museums in Scotland are removing the mummies of ancient Egyptians from public view due to a lack of “consent” from the deceased or their descendants, the BBC reports. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and the Hunterian Art Gallery, both in Glasgow, have taken the human remains off display. Glasgow Life, the charity that manages the Kelvingrove, said the decision was made in the "absence of consent from the deceased individual or their descendants."
