Two museums in Glasgow have removed the remains of Egyptian mummies from display over ethical concerns.

The mummified corpse of the priest Nekht was taken out of public view at Kelvingrove Gallery, while The Hunterian Museum has covered Lady Shep-En-Hor's body in a specially designed textile to protect it from being seen by visitors.
