From controversy to clarity: how a Philadelphia medical museum is rethinking the display of human remains

The Mütter Museum in Philadelphia, known for its collection of medical artifacts including human remains, has been embroiled in controversy since a 2023 ProPublica investigation revealed it held Native American remains without repatriating them as required by NAGPRA. The museum's executive director Kate Quinn and then-president Mira Irons responded by removing digital content mentioning human remains, sparking a petition signed by over 30,000 people accusing them of reactive decisions. High-level staff departed, donors requested their body parts back, and both Quinn and Irons eventually resigned. The museum is now led by science historians Erin McLeary and Sara Ray.

Lots to play for: Serpentine exhibition explores censorship and connection through video games

Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley's exhibition *The Delusion* opens today at Serpentine North in London, running until 18 January 2026. The Berlin-based artist and video game designer presents a series of multiplayer video games that challenge players to confront ethical, political, and moral choices. Games like *The Unifier* require collaborative problem-solving while prompting reflection on censorship, and *The Validators* transforms an arcade shooter into a contemplative experience addressing censorship, dehumanisation, and hope. The exhibition was developed with a team of artists, researchers, technologists, and members of Brathwaite-Shirley's Black trans and queer community, and builds on the artist's ongoing work archiving Black trans histories.

Arboretum poppies, a tribute to late Wyndmoor artist

The Morris Arboretum & Gardens in Philadelphia recently displayed supersized red poppies at its entrance, reproductions of the colossal sculptures "Papaver Rubrum Giganteum" created by the late artist Gary G. Miller. Originally installed at the arboretum in May 2008, the installation featured 300 handmade aluminum poppies with 20-inch flower heads on 10-foot stems. Miller, a sculpture and photography teacher at Germantown Friends School and a facilitator at Woodmere Art Museum, was killed by a drunk driver in 2013. To commemorate his work, the Chestnut Hill Community Association organized an exhibition titled "Papaver Rubrum Giganteum Redux," featuring photographs of the poppies in a pop-up space from September 27 to October 4.

Rocket Man Jacky Tsai’s interstellar adventure

London-based Chinese artist Jacky Tsai painted the exterior of a ZQ-2E Y2 rocket, which launched into space in May from China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The project, titled "Chang'e Flying to the Moon," was a collaboration with commercial space company LandSpace, reimagining the Chinese moon goddess in a cosmic context. Tsai worked with engineers to apply aerospace-grade paint, avoiding colors like green that could interfere with tracking systems. He had planned to recover separated rocket parts for a sculptural installation or charity auction, but all painted sections were incinerated upon re-entry.

Three works by artist and sexual abuser Eric Gill withdrawn from UK exhibition after consultation with survivors group

Three artworks by Eric Gill, a sculptor and artist who sexually abused his daughters, have been withdrawn from the exhibition 'It Takes A Village' at the Ditchling Museum of Art and Craft in the UK, opening on 5 July. The works—two depicting his daughter Petra naked in a bath and one of a nude Elizabeth—were removed after the museum consulted with the Methodist Survivors Advisory Group, a group of abuse survivors. The survivors found the pieces offensive and potentially upsetting to visitors. The exhibition will still include Gill's watercolor 'Annunciation' in a separate room, and the museum's director, Stephanie Fuller, emphasized that the decision was led by the survivors' input.
