<p>Dear colleagues,</p>
<p>We are planning the display of a rhino that has been in storage
for some years. <br>
</p>
<p>We are concerned and considering replacing the horn by a replica.</p>
<p>Several museums have done that as far as I know. Could you direct
me to some relevant literature -- broader ethic issues,
conservation procedure and documentation? <br>
</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Best wishes,</p>
<p>Marta C. Lourenco</p>
