Updated on 20 November 2009
Two fingers and a tooth believed to belong to Galileo Galilei have been found and will go on display next year, a museum in Florence has said.
Three fingers and a tooth were taken from the astronomer's body in 1737 and placed in a container.
Paolo Galluzzi, director of the Museum of the History of Science, said a private collector had bought a container at auction containing two fingers and a tooth.
