The Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum has a small, but excellent, collection of Victorian "fancy craft" hair wreaths and historical relics such as the alleged first jawbone ever used to identify a murder victim by her dental records. The wreaths are incredibly elaborate and it's not immediately obvious that they're made of actual human hair.
