The Musée de l'Homme in Paris has a big collection from around the world.

From the New York Times:

A confidential memo said that the collection included the bones of Mamadou Lamine, a 19th-century West African Muslim leader who led a rebellion against French colonial troops; a family of Canadian Inuits exhibited in a Paris human zoo in 1881; and even five victims of the Armenian Genocide in the mid-1910s.

...

Ouzoulias echoed this fear during a parliamentary commission last year. Referring to the skulls of victims of the Armenian Genocide, he said France risked “a major diplomatic conflict with some states when they become aware of the content of our collections.”
