Museos de varias partes del mundo se unieron a un reto viral para mostrar los “objetos más espeluznantes” que guardan en sus colecciones durante la cuarentena por la pandemia del COVID-19.
@NorwichCastle – @YorkshireMuseum – @DHMBerlin – @MrMonkus82 –
@NatSciNMS – @PenshurstPlace –
En este contexto, el Museo de Yorkshire en Inglaterra, Reino Unido, habría iniciado esta tendencia utilizando la etiqueta “CuratorBattle” para compartir la imagen del moño de una mujer romana del siglo III o IV.
Tras esto, varios museos, instituciones y especialistas aprovecharon la ocasión para compartir desde un cordero con dos rostros hasta juguetes infantiles malditos y máscaras que se utilizaron en 1650 a causa de la peste.
Vale acotar que varios retos se han vuelto virales en redes sociales debido a la permanencia en casa de las personas para prevenir la propagación del coronavirus.

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? 💥 pic.twitter.com/ntPiXDuM6v

At @BangorUni we have our own natural history museum & herbarium, which we use for teaching & research. Some specimens are hundreds of years old. Here are two of our "creepiest": two-faced lamb & monkey's head!#CURATORBATTLE pic.twitter.com/bKP1sra9RH

Live from the Toy Museum of Penshurst Place, we present the Drinking Bear. Feed it a 2 pence piece and it'll pretend to drink from its cup as it stares into your soul. #CuratorBattle #CreepiestObject pic.twitter.com/ohNl2974UJ
