MYSTERIOUS: The british museum throws a party with marvel heroes and drag queens | Mind Blowing Facts

There are some wacky exhibits in the British Museum but the arrival of the Hammer of Thor on Tuesday night raised eyebrows even from curators. Museum staff arrived at their Christmas party to find the event was Marvel-themed. The Great Court was dotted with actors dressed as Thor, the Nordic god-hero, and Spider-Man. Loki and Doctor Strange also made appearances.

There were, rather incongruously, regular half-hourly performances by The Globe Girls, a troupe of drag queens. The Rosetta Stone, an Egyptian linguistic tablet from the Ptolemaic era, doubled up as a “time portal” at the party. At least they left the Parthenon Marbles alone.
