Here in Austin, Texas we won't be reopening anytime soon, but when we are able to have visitors back the #StarObject they most want to see is our M3A4 Sherman tank. Whether inside the museum on exhibit or out as part of our reenactments it never fails to impress. #CURATORBATTLE

#MuseumsUnlocked The theme is The Sea so we can to share #StarObject -Seahenge! It is a Bronze Age timber circle. The name is doubly wrong! It isn't a true henge and wasn't made in the sea! However, that is what the press called it. youtu.be/fK8UZc2mKK0

So we are a bit late to the #StarObject party but it's been a secret up until now. We see your helmet and raise you Britain's first Anglo-Scandinavian (Viking) helmet! Yeah it's not a looker like yours, but it was actually used by a real Viking warrior! #nohorns #CURATORBATTLE

#GrandFinale #CURATORBATTLE Our Ōtautau Museum #StarObject is this Chondrometer marked "Bryan Corcoran Ltd", c1870's. It is extremely unusual for having a pendulum scale & not being shown in any catalogue or advertising from the company. We've not seen another one like it. CC BY

Our usually quiet pump organ instantly became the #StarObject when this German organist visited @revmuseum Although we don't encourage handling of artifacts, hearing this fellow play was much appreciated! Watch it here youtu.be/kTqdyCoYD9E @YorkshireMuseum #CURATORBATTLE
