I was wondering about that myself. My guess would be that because they're European remains, NAGPRA doesn't apply. The few *modern* remains are from donors, and I'd guess that they've coordinated where possible with any families or other group that might have a legal hold on the disposition of the archaeological specimens. But I don't know for sure.

I wasn't particularly impressed with the Korea exhibit, either, but I don't think it does *too* bad considering it's only one tiny room. :/ I do find it a little troubling in general that the natural history museum is considered the logical spot for cultural exhibits.
