MMM 27 April

Happy Monday! Here’s a little taste of how some people are handling quarantine. A museum director in England challenged other curators to a “curator battle” of creepy things last week - inviting them to share the creepiest object in their collection. And wow, did they deliver. Check it out! That mermaid… ?
