PowerHouse

While the inquest into Princess Diana's death continues, her wedding dress is currently on display at Sydney's Powerhouse Museum. The dress is displayed on a faceless manikin - which seems an interesting artistic choice. I can't help wonder what the considered options were - Diana lookalike, a headless mannequin, a faceless mannequin, no mannequin at all. I wonder if this presented greater ethical challenges than, say, the showing of the Star Wars costumes a couple of years ago?
