In today’s video, we are honored to have Nori, share his insights and explain our museum’s policies on NAGPRA, as an Indigenous person. We felt it was most appropriate for this important conversation to be guided by his voice and perspective, ensuring that the significance of this policy is communicated accurately and respectfully as it deserves. The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), enacted in 1990, is a U.S. federal law that protects the rights of Native American tribes, Alaska Native villages, and Native Hawaiian organizations to reclaim ancestral human remains, funerary objects, sacred items, and cultural patrimony. It requires federally funded institutions and agencies to inventory and repatriate these items to their affiliated tribes upon request and protects Native burial sites on federal and tribal lands from unauthorized disturbance. NAGPRA also prohibits the trafficking of Native American human remains and cultural artifacts, mandating penalties for violations. This legislation addresses historical injustices by respecting Native traditions, returning cultural heritage to rightful communities, and promoting ethical treatment of Indigenous remains and artifacts. #bonemuseum #bonetok #jonsbones

With the Bone Museum gaining so much attention recently, we noticed a lot of misinformation going around. We wanted to make this video to address some FAQs as well as some comments we have seen repeated. The Bone Museum’s number one goal has always been and will always be to educate and to spread awareness about these bones that exist. We believe in public transparency and we are not afraid to have challenging conversations. Thank you for taking the time to listen 💀 #bonetok #jonsbones #bonemuseum

Being self conscious about your teeth is nothing new. Across history, cultures have transformed their teeth in fascinating ways. Vikings filed horizontal grooves into their teeth, the ancient Maya decorated theirs with precious stones like jade, and in Japan, the tradition of Ohaguro involved deliberately blackening teeth. From beauty and identity to cultural tradition, these practices reveal how something as ordinary as a smile can carry extraordinary historical meaning.

Over a year in the making. One extraordinary exhibit. Countless hands behind the scenes. What does it really take to bring an exhibit like this to life? Our new Leontiasis Ossea exhibit represents more than a year of planning, research, design, and collaboration. From coordinating with multiple institutions over several months to developing the earliest concepts, restoring the specimen, and overseeing the final installation, every stage required an extraordinary amount of time, expertise, and dedication. Projects like this don’t happen overnight, and they certainly don’t happen because of just one person. They require a team of talented individuals, each contributing their knowledge, creativity, and craftsmanship to bring a shared vision to life.

What happens to the skull when the body doesn't get enough vitamin C? Scurvy, caused by severe vitamin C deficiency, can have a remarkable effect on the human skeleton. By disrupting collagen production and weakening blood vessels, the disease can cause bleeding beneath the bone's surface and abnormal bone growth, leaving behind distinctive areas of porosity. These tiny holes tell a much bigger story about the body's struggle with disease. #bonetok

What can human bones tell us about a volcanic eruption nearly 2,000 years ago? When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, residents of Herculaneum fled to waterfront boathouses seeking shelter. The extreme heat left lasting evidence in their skeletal remains. By studying microscopic and chemical changes in the bones, researchers can estimate the temperatures they were exposed to. Even centuries later, the bones preserve a record of one of history's most devastating natural disasters.

$The history of modern medicine is sometimes written in bone. At The Bone Museum, we examine a skull bearing a distinctive LeFort II fracture, a severe injury involving the central face. But the story behind this fracture classification is far darker than its medical significance might suggest. Developed through a series of controversial experiments by French surgeon René LeFort, these findings fundamentally changed how doctors understand and treat facial injuries. Discover the unsettling origins of a medical classification still used today. #5minuteplus$

$Not all Skulls are fractured on accident... In this video, we take a closer look at a real human skull from The Bone Museum with a classic LeFort II Fracture, one of 3 types of facial traumas first classified through violent experiments by French Surgeon René LeFort. We explore the brutal history behind his experiments, and how these fractures helped shape modern trauma medicine #5minuteplus$

$What happens when industrial pollution begins to destroy the human skeleton? Itai-itai disease, meaning “it hurts-it hurts disease” in Japanese, was caused by prolonged exposure to cadmium pollution from the Jinzū River. The toxic metal damaged the kidneys, leading to severe bone softening (osteomalacia), painful fractures, and skeletal deformities. It's a devastating example of how environmental pollution can leave its mark on the human body.$

What happens when nature turns a burial ground into a collection of mummies? In Urbania, Italy, the Church of the Dead houses 18 naturally mummified bodies, displayed behind the altar. Their remarkable preservation is attributed to a rare fungus that dehydrated the remains. Each mummy has its own story, offering a haunting glimpse into the lives and deaths of people from centuries past. Sometimes, history preserves itself.

In this video, we explore the fascinating history of tight-laced corsetry, a practice that shaped both fashion and the human body for centuries. Once a symbol of beauty, status, and discipline, extreme tight lacing gradually transformed the torso through prolonged compression. Beyond fashion, tightly worn corsets could physically alter the body. Historical medical accounts and surviving skeletal evidence reveal changes to the ribcage, including inward compression of the lower ribs, along with potential effects on organ positioning and breathing. While most corset wearers experienced temporary compression, extreme and prolonged tight lacing could result in lasting anatomical changes, revealing how cultural beauty standards could influence the human skeleton. At The Bone Museum, we examine the myths and medical realities of corsetry through history, anatomy, and osteology, exploring the remarkable relationship between fashion, culture, and the human body. #5minuteplus

In this video, we explore the history of tight-laced corsetry, a practice that shaped both fashion and the human body for centuries. What began as a symbol of beauty, status, and discipline evolved into an extreme modification of the torso, where waists were gradually reduced through prolonged compression. As corsets became tighter, their effects extended far beyond clothing. Prolonged wear altered the ribcage, drawing the lower ribs inward and reshaping the thoracic cavity. Skeletal evidence and medical accounts reveal narrowed rib arches, displaced organs, and restricted lung capacity, offering a rare look at how cultural ideals can physically transform the human body. While many wearers experienced only temporary compression, extreme tight lacing led to lasting anatomical changes. The liver and stomach could be displaced, breathing limited, and posture permanently altered. These changes were not always visible in life, but are preserved in the bones, where the body adapted to sustained external pressure. We examine both the myth and reality of corsetry, separating exaggeration from documented medical impact. Through historical records, anatomical study, and surviving skeletal evidence, we uncover how fashion intersected with physiology in ways that still spark debate today. At The Bone Museum, our mission is to make osteology accessible while preserving the human stories behind the specimens we care for. This story is not just about corsets, it is about the relationship between culture, identity, and the physical limits of the human body. Filmed at The Bone Museum in Brooklyn, New York. #5minuteplus
