Museums battle it out for creepiest exhibit

Posted by Anita Froneman on 23 April 2020

Just because nobody is visiting museums at the moment, doesn’t mean museums aren’t as busy as ever. The Yorkshire Museum in England challenged other museums on Twitter to share their creepiest exhibits.

They posted a picture of a bun of hair from a lady of the third or fourth century, pins still in place, using the hashtag #curatorbattle:

‘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…CAN YOU BEAT IT?’

Take a look at how other museums responded:
