520 _aThe article focuses on the ways the human body is exhibited in museums. It presents two examples of such remains that have become museum objects in Slovenia – a strap made of human skin and a shrunken human head. Museums have not yet made a decision to completely remove such objects from their exhibitions, since the museum audience desires and seeks attractions. Due to their authenticity, the human body and body parts are museum objects par excellence that fascinate the public; and it is the public that makes the existence of museums worthwhile.
