The Museum: Bodies of Knowledge

Documentary that goes behind the scenes at the British Museum. Iron Age bodies preserved in a bog, Sudanese sacrifice victims, and 40 or so mummies are just a few of the body parts held in the BM. But do human remains belong in a museum? Two Tasmanian aboriginals have come to London to reclaim the remains of their ancestors, that have been in the museum's collection for 125 years. The BM is the first national museum to hand back human remains since British law was changed in 2004.
