A UK Museum Challenged Bored Curators Worldwide to Share the Creepiest Objects in Their Collections. Things Got Really Weird, Fast

[Vicious Retard]

What’s a museum social media manager to do with no exhibitions on the horizon? The Yorkshire Museum recently put out a call on Twitter asking for museum experts to submit pictures of the creepiest objects in their collections. And things got weird—fast.

To kick things off, the UK museum posted a picture of a hair bun that belonged to a Roman woman in the 3rd or 4th centuries. It still has a pair of pins sticking out of it.

A fine effort, as far as ancient head buns go, but really it was grosser than it was unsettling. Then the ante was upped.
