I’ve been browsing antique jewelry a lot lately and wonder about this. With jewelry specifically I think about hair, coral, pearls.

Then that extends out to animal skins, bones, human relics, etc.

What makes one thing gross but the other okay?

    You just need it to be not too humid and in the dark. I have seen mummies stored like under a bench FWIW.

      Really? I was assuming you’d need pretty significant climate control. Although it probably varies by type.

      Was that correct, or was that one of those OMG moments?
