Julia Pastrana & Her Son

The “mummies” ended up in Norway and continued to be displayed throughout the 20th century.

They went through several ownerships, including private  collectors and medical institutions.

In 1973 (or 76?) Julia and child were taken on their last public tour  (with the Lund Tivoli traveling amusement park) before going into storage in a warehouse in Norway.

At some point their bodies were vandalized.  The infant was knocked off of his pedestal and thrown into a ditch where rodents ate him.
