Charles Byrne, better known as the “Irish Giant,” stood over 7 feet tall due to a pituitary tumor that caused gigantism. Fearing dissection after death, Byrne requested to be buried at sea. Instead, his body was secretly purchased, stolen from his funeral procession, and skeletonized by surgeon John Hunter. Over 240 years later, his remains remain at the center of one of anatomy’s most debated ethical controversies.#museumtiktokcontest #internationalmuseumday #museumtok

En los últimos días se viralizó un video de personas sosteniendo placas frente a la Mona Lisa, aparentemente para bloquear las fotografías que otros visitantes intentan tomar de la famosa obra de Leonardo da Vinci. Sin embargo, el Museo del Louvre tiene instrucciones claras en su sitio web: está permitido tomar fotografías y grabar videos de las colecciones permanentes para uso personal. Lo que sí está prohibido es el uso de flash, palos selfie y otros dispositivos de iluminación. #Latinus #Info

Even at The Bone Museum, not everything is perfectly polished. Behind every educational video is a pile of missed lines, weird pauses, chaotic energy, and at least one moment where nobody knows what is happening. Usually, we make bones look professional. Today, we prove that the people behind them are very much human.#museumtok #museumtiktokcontest #internationalmuseumday

Its unfinished state continues to raise questions about how ancient Egyptian craftsmen shaped such hard stone… —and what techniques they may have used. One unfinished object… still inspiring debate today. #AncientEgypt #AncientEngineering #HistoryMystery #HiddenHistory #DidYouKnow
