Note: this is an emotive topic and it is not one I feel qualified to give an opinion on yet. My sharing of this extract and link neither supports nor argues against any particular viewpoint, it's simply to take note of a conversation that I feel is important.

Extract:

[T]he Chau Chak Wing Museum at the University of Sydney [has] removed fragments of mummified bodies from public display. Museum staffers also plan to rename the “Mummy Room” to more accurately and respectfully reflect mummification’s significance in ancient Egyptian culture.

[...]

Egyptologist Melanie Pitkin, [...] a senior curator of antiquities and archaeology [at Chau Chak Wing], is leading the charge to rethink how the museum displays and interprets its Egyptian collection.

[...]

“For hundreds of years, body parts in museum collections have been treated as objects,” says Pitkin in a statement.  “We have become so accustomed to seeing them on show that we often forget they once belonged to living people.”

For now, the remains are being kept in the museum’s “closely monitored collection store” while curators work to “implement better practices with Egyptian communities and authorities,” according to the statement. In the display, the museum replaced the unwrapped body parts with ancient Egyptian funerary portraits from coffin lids and masks. Curators are also exhibiting a painted portrait from the Roman era.

[Two] completely wrapped, mummified bodies [...] along with 3D visualizations based on CT scans of the remains. The CT scan data of another mummified body [...] also remains on view.

[...]

“In renaming the room, we’d like to focus more on the transformation of the body into an eternal being [...], rather than the body itself,” Pitkin says [...]. “We also encourage visitors to critically reflect on the ethical complexities museums face when caring for human remains.”

[...]

“[Modern] cultural stereotyping [of ancient Egyptian mummified bodies] would elsewhere be recognized as a form of racism, but the ancient Egyptians are not here to object to the ways in which we depict them,” Jasmine Day, an Egyptologist [...], tells the Sydney Morning Herald.

[...]

Around the world, curators and policymakers are also reconsidering their approaches to other types of artifacts. Earlier this year, [...] Harvard University removed a book binding made of human skin from its library, while the Field Museum in Chicago covered some of its Native American artifacts.

Unveiling the Art of Museum Displays: Captivating Visitors with History and Beauty.

Museum displays serve as windows into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of human history, culture, and creativity. In this blog post, we'll explore the art of museum displays, highlighting their significance, techniques, and impact on visitors' experiences.

The Significance of Museum Displays

Museum displays play a crucial role in preserving and presenting artifacts, artworks, and historical objects for public viewing and appreciation. Through carefully curated exhibitions, museums educate, inspire, and provoke thought, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of our collective heritage.

Techniques for Effective Museum Displays

Creating compelling museum displays requires a delicate balance of artistry, storytelling, and curation. From lighting and layout to interpretive signage and interactive elements, every aspect of the display is carefully considered to enhance engagement and convey meaning to visitors.

Showcasing Diversity and Perspective

Museum displays offer an opportunity to showcase diverse perspectives and narratives that reflect the complexity and richness of human experience. By presenting artifacts from different cultures, eras, and viewpoints, museums encourage dialogue, empathy, and understanding among visitors.

Incorporating Technology and Innovation

Innovative technologies, such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and interactive displays, are increasingly being integrated into museum exhibits to enhance engagement and immersion. These digital tools provide new ways for visitors to interact with and learn about the objects on display, creating memorable and enriching experiences.

Impact on Visitors' Experiences

Well-executed museum displays have a profound impact on visitors, evoking emotions, sparking curiosity, and fostering a sense of connection with the past. By engaging multiple senses and offering opportunities for reflection and discovery, museum displays create lasting memories and inspire lifelong learning.

Conclusion

In conclusion, museum displays are powerful tools for education, inspiration, and cultural enrichment. By employing thoughtful curation, innovative techniques, and a commitment to diversity and inclusivity, museums captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression on visitors of all ages. Explore the world of museum displays and embark on a journey of discovery and wonder through the annals of history and art.

i am thinking how much poorer, how much less colorful the world would be if art was only made by "professionals." if all the music, all the stories, all the sketches & paintings & craftwork of the world was created only by the small category of people able to make a decent living from their art. imagine if the only people allowed to create were the experts & the renowned & those aspiring to the top. what a grey world that would be. how much joy would be bleached away! i love you people who create for the sake of creating, i love you artists who do art for tiny audiences, i love you people who make things even just for one person, even just for themselves, even if no one's watching, thank you thank you thank you for decorating the world in which we all exist

Sir David Suchet on the gifts he received from Agatha Christie's Poirot tv series → Capital Theatres interview, January 12 2024

"I know how fortunate I am to have had the opportunity to play such an astonishing character over all these years, and to see him blossom so dramatically around me, to see his exploits dubbed into more than fifty languages and broadcast in almost every country in the world. It is amazing, humbling, and the greatest present that I could ever have been given." - David Suchet, Poirot and Me

In case you needed some nightmare fuel, this is what the oesophagus of a leatherback sea turtle looks like on the inside. 
Those spines keep jellyfish in but let sea water out. Unfortunately, they also keep plastic bags in, making them very vulnerable to plastic impaction!

Who's taller machete or vasco

They should be about the same height. If you take away his heels (and I advise against it), Machete is a tiny bit shorter than Vasco, but then again he has those antenna ears and Vasco doesn't.

In their setting they're slightly above average height at roughly 6'0/180 cm.
