All,
Thanks for all the feedback! Sorry I didn't add that this is for a museum studies course. The rationale is that only by knowing how things have gone wrong can we avoid them going wrong in the future.

There was the orchid controversy at the Selby Botanical Garden back in the early 2000s. It was all over the news though digging up the articles might take some work now. Here are a few:

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Natural history museum controversies?
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 No need to reply with unpublished accounts!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
