Romina Tello takes up this issue using the example of the funeral bundle, which is exhibited in the room "On the Humboldt Stream" (room 204). She talks about the cultural identity of the people from the historical Andean region, their burial rituals and their beliefs, and discusses with visitors how human remains should be handled today.
