[Nhcoll-l] Natural history museum controversies?

[Derek Sikes]

Do any of you know of any *published* natural history / science
controversies in museums that are quite famous? These could range from
taking on specimens or collections that are controversial, to research
conducted by museums staff/curators that was deemed controversial, etc.

Ideally, I'd like a publication or documentary / video that has the
details. No need to reply with unpublished accounts! & These should involve
museum specimens (so no need to reply with stories of misbehaviors of
museum personnel if specimens were not involved).

Thanks!
Derek
