17 апреля Йоркширский музей в Великобритании залил в Сеть фотоснимок с пучком волос со шпильками, который когда-то давно, а точнее в III—IV веках, принадлежал одной из жительниц Рима.
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…

Отметим, что этот флешмоб является уже пятым по счёту, который начал Йоркширский музей. Ранее кураторам предлагали показать самые скучные, самые красивые и самые смертоносные предметы из коллекций, а также лучшее яйцо перед Пасхой.
Ниже вы можете взглянуть на некоторые необычные музейные экспонаты из разных музеев мира.

GUYS we know we have already won. This severed lower leg by Kerry Jameson has sprouted its own legs and a rather beastly head. @COCAYork #RethinkCeramics pic.twitter.com/Ip84aNacUX

Turn the creep up to ? and check out this iron mask that was exhibited in the @TowerOfLondon as an Executioner's Mask. However, due to its grotesque appearance, we think it's more likely part of an elaborate scold’s bridle — an iron muzzle designed for public humiliation ? pic.twitter.com/1nG4mMZRex

Bringin’ our A-game for this #CURATORBATTLE! What is it? Just a CURSED CHILDREN’S TOY that we found inside the walls of a 155-year-old mansion. We call it “Wheelie” — and it MOVES ON ITS OWN: Staff put it in one place and find it in another spot later on…. #Creepiestobject pic.twitter.com/FQzMzacr8a

@RedHeadedAli how can we ignore such a call to arms?
This particular item has caused a few nightmares for our followers this week.
