We've got a #MuseumMystery for you this Friday 13th! We suspect this broom was collected in Cambridge or Ely early in WWII, but we don't know why the collector thought it was a witch's broom. Let us know your thoughts on what it could have been used for.
🖋️ We love a good mystery!

#MuseumMystery Solved!
Today, museum staff noticed an unidentified object hanging from the ceiling and worried it might be a bat. So I grabbed a ladder to investigate.
It turned out to be just a toy slug that a student or visitor must have thrown against the ceiling, where it got stuck.🤣
A Collections Assistant looks down at the object she holds. It has a metal cylinder at the end of a thinner metal shaft. At the other end is a wooden handle.
This intriguing object is part of a gadget once essential for the fashion conscious!
