Museums Are Sharing Photos Of Their Creepiest Exhibits And The Results Was The Stuff Of Nightmares

After closure to all public places meant for tourism or entertainment, like museums, amusement parks, and even prayer places, have been shut down due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Yorkshire Museum, England, has launched a Twitter challenge under the #curatorbattle hashtag and challenged other museum curators worldwide to share their “creepiest exhibits.”

The challenge started by tweeting a picture from Yorkshire on April 17, showing a hair bun off a Roman woman from the 3rd or 4th century AD.

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…
