Museums Show Off Their Creepiest Objects On Twitter
If creepy is your thing, Twitter has delivered.
Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic shutting their doors, museums around the world are giving would-be attendees a virtual tour of their wares. But to keep things interesting, some are putting the creepiest objects in their collections on display. Taking to Twitter, the Yorkshire Museum in the UK kicked things off by sharing a photo of human hair taken from the head of a 3rd- or 4th-century Roman woman, then asking, “CAN YOU BEAT IT?” Berlin’s Deutsches Historisches Museum followed up with a plague mask, and the PEI Museum in Canada rolled out their cursed children’s toys.
MUSEUMS ASSEMBLE! It's time for #CURATORBATTLE! 💥

Today's theme, chosen by you, is #CreepiestObject!
We're kicking things off with this 3rd/4th century hair bun from the burial of a #Roman lady, still with the jet pins in place...
