Glasgow's Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum removed several human remains, including mummified parts, citing a new policy requiring consent for display. This move aligns with a revised International Council of Museums Code of Ethics emphasizing respect for human dignity. Critics condemned the decision as 'woke nonsense' and lacking educational value, while museum officials noted the policy addresses the absence of consent from the deceased individuals.
