A Museum of Human Bones

Ever wondered what it’s like to walk through a museum filled with real human skeletons, skulls, and a spine wall? In this episode, I take you inside The Bone Museum in Brooklyn—a one-of-a-kind destination dedicated to the history of the medical bone trade and human osteology. Join me as I sit down with the people behind the collection to talk about how these bones were sourced, the controversy and ethics of the bone trade, and what it’s really like to curate a museum of human remains. We’ll explore some of the most jaw-dropping (literally) specimens on display, learn about their favorite pieces, and even address some of the tough questions about where these bones come from. If you’re fascinated by anatomy, medical history, or just love a good dose of the macabre, you don’t want to miss this tour.
