Recently we had requests similar to this email:

*I am a religious orthodox Jew. For religious reasons, I don't enter a
premise with any human remains.

Does the Hall of science carry any human remains ? (Such as mummies,
plastisized **body** part. limbs or preserved **body** **parts** for
dissection.)
Thank you in advance for your help)*

*
*

At the time we did not but now we have an exhibit containing a human
brain and it is not apparent from the title *(Wild Minds What Animals
Really Think*)


How have you dealt with issues like this? Did you please a disclaimer
at the admissions desk or a note on your web site near admissions
information?
