The Creepiest Artifacts in Museums Around the World

Band of Clowns

This is a photograph of a band of clowns that was taken in 1920. There isn't much else behind the photo, as it's hard to find information on "DeLairs' Clown Band." The photo now resides in the Wisconsin Maritime Museum. 

Aging Wax Doll

This doll didn't always look this crazy! Isobel is a doll from 1851 and one of the oldest dolls at the Chelmsford City Museum. Over time, the wax on the dolls would crack which would end up giving them a "deranged" look... Eventually, these types of dolls were known as "Mad Alice" dolls.
