RESUMEN
La exhibición de cuerpos y restos humanos preservados ha sido y continúa siendo habitual en ciertos museos, también en España. Este artículo repasa los contextos expositivos que conducen desde la limitada presencia de restos humanos en las cámaras de curiosidades y los primeros museos de historia natural, hasta su exitosa consolidación en los gabinetes y museos anatómicos (académicos y comerciales) durante el último tercio del siglo XVIII y todo el XIX. Se presta especial atención a la actividad desarrollada por el doctor González Velasco, tanto en sus propios museos como en la Facultad de Medicina de Madrid
