Due to the global pandemic of the epidemic, most art institutions have closed their business. In this regard, the staff of major museums are planning to continuously share artworks with the public through various methods. Earlier, the Yorkshire Museum carried the most weird collections in many museums around the world, and shared interesting collections with people from all over the world on Twitter under the label of "CreepiestObjects", which aroused widespread response.
First of all, the Yorkshire Museum itself posted photos of a wig belonging to a woman who lived in Rome during the third and fourth centuries. There was a pair of pins on the wig. Then more and more museums responded to this event, which brought a medieval plague. The doctor's beak headgear, mermaid, monster, executioner mask, and a doll that has lost an eyeball and soaked in blood, etc., bring some disturbing works that can't help but continue to watch.
CreepiestObject is part of Yorkshire Museum’s weekly CuratorBattle series. The purpose of this project is to allow people to view museum collections during home isolation.
