I remember being fascinated by a shrunken head in a museum when I was a kid, but can't remember which one. I've tried to find it by revisiting the museums from my youth, but haven't been able to. I assume it was taken from public display.
Recently, I looked into shrunken heads, and was reading about them online. I found some website with stories about people who not too long ago (70's) traveled into the jungle to try to get shrunken heads from the tribes and were never heard from again. Then later, shrunken heads of a few white people (perhaps those collectors) showed up on the market.
It's kind of gruesome to be collecting trophy human parts.
