Wednesday was #AskACurator day on Twitter. Many museums had people ready to answers questions from the public. But this one started a war!

The Natural History Museum in London fired the first shot.
We have dinosaurs. No contest.

The Science Museum, also in London, fired back.
@NHM_London is full of old fossils, but we have robots, a Spitfire and ancient poisons. Boom! #AskACuratorhttps://t.co/lsdOS3HqyO

And then it was on. They both started posting pictures of their exhibits in a game of one-upmanship which only the readers won. The whole thing got quite silly at times, but we saw some amazing exhibits, and both museums ended up looking pretty good. And they have a good sense of humor. See the entire battle here. -via Metafilter
