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
The Yorkshire Museum kicked off another museum challenge, and we all get to enjoy the results. Museums were asked what their creepiest object is, and many rushed in to show theirs off. You'll see bad taxidermy, deteriorating toys, hoaxes, things made from body parts, weird art, nature specimens, and even food. See them in the replies to the original Tweet, or you can follow the #CreepiestObject hashtag. -via Mashable
