With a more complex definition of the museum, Hernandez and Rubio (2009: 92) Considers the interpretation of heritage as consider it as one where the most valuable something unconscious and involuntary for institution that possesses is its exposure and it is tourists, more like a mental process, as an "a space for the experience of aesthetic feelings, intellectual experience, which is generated in a to show objects, collect evidence scientific, process of integration when the tourist comes organize research and build a platform of into contact with part of the heritage that knowledge from collections of pieces to the supposedly was It allows and is exposed, so environment of a particular object of knowledge when the tourist part means that psychologically and museological ". accepts the proposal, activating the mental processes that lead to reading an information The museum should be seen as a social and panel, to convert content into self-knowledge. cultural space where the encounter between Therefore, it differentiates between cultural visitors and heritage is conceived, "not as a tourists depending on their behavior, for it finished product, but as a social process" (Rico, separates into two audiences: 2008: 32).

  • Paleodermatoses: Lessons Learned from Mummies
    HISTORY Paleodermatoses: Lessons learned from mummies Eve Judith Lowenstein, MD, PhD Brooklyn, New York Mummies, the preserved remains of living beings from former times, bear witness across millennia to the maladies plaguing humankind. Disease, older than humanity, is better understood when examined in the context of history. Paleopathology, literally meaning “ancient suffering”, is the study of disease through evaluation of ancient remains. This area of increasing medical interest offers insights into the management of public health issues and disease epidemiology. This article provides an introduction and overview to paleodermatology, the branch of dermatology concerned with the evaluation of diseases associated with the integument by examination of ancient human remains. Mummy sources, how they were made and used throughout history, and the multidisciplinary approach used to study skin diseases found in mummies is briefly described. Despite pervasive pseudopathology, a remarkable array of diseases are well substantiated in the paleorecord, including infectious, heritable, nutritional, hormonal, acquired, iatrogenic, and neo- plastic disorders. Legitimate ethical concerns have been raised in the use of human remains for any purpose, with the lack of informed consent eliciting accusations of exploitation. While these studies are undertaken with certain risks, such as the acquisition of potentially dangerous or extinct infections, paleodermatology offers a unique and historical perspective on the afflictions of the skin and the way of all flesh. (J Am Acad Dermatol 2004;50:919-36.) “Far from being mute, ancient remains bear field offers information of medical and historical eloquent testimony to those who know how to significance. 1 listen.” Albert Kligman used the term “paleodermatol- A mummy is a human or animal corpse (soft ogy” to refer to anything done by dermatologists tissue and skeleton) preserved from decay, either before the advent of hydrocortisone.4 Iproposean naturally or artificially by embalming.
