Displaying medical specimens

I have come across a situation concerning the permanent display of
medical specimens: specifically organs in wet specimen jars. I know
that there are museums (like the Mutter for example) that do this,
but I was curious if there were any studies on the long-term effects
of having medical wet specimens on display, whether temporary or
permanent?
