Unfortunately it isn't that easy to walk around with a large head hunter sword in central Stockholm and draw the blade among 100's of people inside the natural history museum during the tourist season without getting trouble with the police.   | 
	
 Hi Michael,
A couple of points.
One is that you neither need nor want a marine biologist, since they typically work with fish (or worms, or whatever).  You want an vertebrate anatomist or a paleontologist--a bone dude (or dudette).  They typically work at museums, veterinary schools, and universities.  Look for places with lots of nicely mounted skeletons.
With regards to carrying a blade around, I've used poster tubes to carry swords (jian), but all you need is a bag that disguises the sword's shape and makes you look harmless.  Perhaps a guitar case?
Cheers,
F
