Somewhat belatedly, the John E. Conner Museum at Texas A&M University-Kingsville has submitted a couple of entries for creepiest objects from our collection submitted today, Wednesday, May 29. Thanks for bringing this to the attention of American museums.

I don't have access to our collection right now to share anything, but I did share one item I've seen in my own museum visits. It didn't make it into any of the articles about #CreepiestObject, but it has 56 likes on Twitter, so I think Robert the Doll from the East Martello Museum in Key West ​certainly creeped out a few people!
