Hey @TheMerl, here's a quacking duck that's got to be at the top of the bill

The Museum of English Rural Life issued a challenge Friday on Twitter. They specifically called out the British Museum and asked for their best duck. Yes, duck. It took a while for the British Museum m to respond, but plenty of other institutions got in on the fun.
We're not @britishmusem but here across the pond we have a bird that is quite duck-like! https://t.co/eYGKog10bp pic.twitter.com/nZyKVLKrKY

The response to the J. Paul Getty Museum's contribution was "Have you ever seen a duck?" But other places had ducks.

We may not have duck vases or manuscripts but we offer the humble Toilet Duck to this flock of ducks pic.twitter.com/4QHmPIYjOg

This is the kind of thing the internet was made for. You'll see a lot more museum ducks of all kinds in the Twitter thread. -via Everlasting Blort

It's a weird idea, isn't it? You pay, but less than it really costs, and get the hassle of needing to have change in a hurry. And in exchange for the .25-$1 or so, the locale risks having to clean up human waste off the walls and floor.
