The practice of collecting materials and objects existed long before the development of museums. Collecting the things of our world is a part of human nature right? Why? Is it useful? Can this objects help us in this world?
Museum is an organized and permanent nonprofit institution, essentially educational or aesthetic in purpose, with professional staff which owns and utilizes tangible objects, cares for them and exhibits them to the public on some regular schedule (aamm.us.org) .The collected objects of a museum, acquired and preserve. Why? because of their potential value as examples, reference materials or as an objects of aesthetic or educational importance. For some museums, this collections includes human remains. The purpose of collecting this is not just for display rather human remains and artifactual evidence plays important role in understanding human history..It can represent the process and history of human evolution. It helps us understand what happened in the past and gives us knowledge about the society from which the individual has come and how they live and how many years they stayed in this planet. Human remains and artifactual evidence can also help illustrate how the human body functions as separated parts and as a whole. This can also be used to study death, disease and health of humans past and present.
Human remains and artifactual evidence can serve as a connection between the past and present so treat remains as priceless objects that need to be cared for and managed just like any other items on a collection.
