Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow removes Egyptian mummies from public display after stating it does not have informed consent from the deceased individuals. The decision leaves some visitors disappointed, according to reporting across the UK press.
Daily Express frames the move as a “woke” backlash and highlights visitor disappointment. The Daily Record reports the change as being driven by the museum service, Glasgow Life, and focuses on the stated consent basis. The Daily Mail similarly describes a controversy around the concept of “informed consent,” presenting the action as part of a broader “woke” row. Across outlets, the common thread is the museum’s explanation for pulling the mummies, though coverage varies in tone and emphasis on whether the issue is seen as a cultural dispute.
