In Response To: The man who killed Kleber ()

His skull and the knife he used to kill Kleber are in the Musée de l'Homme, Paris, labeled "Criminal".

"Larrey obtained permission to take the corpse of Soliman El-Halabi for his collection. The skull of Kléber's assassin was displayed, for years, to students of medicine, who were shown the bump of crime and fanaticism, before ending up in the Musée de l'Homme." -Henri Laurens et al., L'Expédition d'Egypte 1798-1801, Armand Colin, 1989
