STEP ASIDE ALL.
These are hand-made models of figures playing cards and of gold miners hauling gold nuggets to the surface. BUT the figures are made from crab’s legs and claws… Typical Victorians, they loved weird/creepy stuff. #CreepiestObject pic.twitter.com/A5NHiPGnVh

I give you the Zombie Blowfish, scourge of the High Seas & Terror of Bexhill Museum's stores. If it doesn't get you the army of zombies I am creating with its tetrodotoxin will. #CURATORBATTLE #TroublingTaxidermy pic.twitter.com/Z1A5PEX7A8

This is one of my favourite objects from @HistEnvScot Collections - a painted whale eardrum. Fascinating and highly disturbing! #CreepiestObject #Curatorbattle
