I’ve been browsing antique jewelry a lot lately and wonder about this. With jewelry specifically I think about hair, coral, pearls.
Then that extends out to animal skins, bones, human relics, etc.
What makes one thing gross but the other okay?

None? Owning a mummy would be dope, although the storage and care required wouldn’t be.
You just need it to be not too humid and in the dark. I have seen mummies stored like under a bench FWIW.
Really? I was assuming you’d need pretty significant climate control. Although it probably varies by type.
Was that correct, or was that one of those OMG moments?
Well I was invited to a medical museum after hours, thinking about it, the mummies in question wasn’t Egyptian “thousands of years old”, a really old one might probably need good temperature and humidity control and surveillance of other things like mold etc.
