Creepy Artifacts @The Smithsonian

DC's Smithsonian museums (there are 17 of them here in the city) are among America's most visited and treasured places. But the Smithsonian also publishes a series of some of the most interesting, fact-filled blogs appearing anywhere on the internet. Each Sunday, The Prices Do DC re-posts an entry either about the Smithsonian or that 1st appeared in 1 of the institution's blogs. Hope you enjoy and maybe we'll see you soon at the Smithsonian.

As Halloween approaches, we asked museum staff to share objects from the Smithsonian collections that evoke the holiday's spooky spirit. 

The result? Some diverse objects that creep us out just a little, which is part of why we love them.
