A museum is a repository of a variety of histories, peoples, animals and the very Earth itself. Museums get all kinds of donations such as minerals, animal artifacts and tools. Some donations require special handling and sensitivity.

Human remains and grave goods are often displayed in museums but there are modern standards that need to be adhered to.
