Egyptian mummy removed from display out of ‘respect for her wishes’

The mummified body of an ancient Egyptian woman has been removed from display after 200 years out of “respect for her wishes”.

Curators at Manchester Museum decided to remove the 2,700-year-old remains of a woman named Asru from the public collection and place them in storage, amid a growing debate about the ethics of showing the remains of ancient Egyptians.

Asru’s body had been displayed at Manchester Museum since 1825. It was the last mummified body on public display at the museum.
