Museum pet peeve of the day: asking random trivia questions. Either on a tour on on social media. "Who knows what year was X built?" "What does this contraption do?"

It's fine if you're framing it as a "are you a fan of this thing, test your knowledge with a quiz" (one of my favorites did this today) but so often it's just following the letter of the "be interactive" law without following the spirit.

Either you know the answer, and feel superior, or you don't, and feel like an idiot because you think you should have known.

If you're going to actually engage with your audience, you need to give them the opportunity for actual feedback and discussion, dangit. Ask them their opinion about something. Ask them how they feel about a scenario. Ask them if they have any experiences that mirror what you're talking about. Ask them something that will encourage them to do something besides reciting some factoid they remember from elementary school.

A beautifully gilt Eared Dagger with an intricately carved bone grip, Italy, ca. 1520, housed at the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana.

The text which can be seen on the dagger's ears is the second verse of Psalm 31 (30), which reads IN TE DOMIN[E] SPERAVI / ET NON CONFUNDAR IN [AETERNUM] “In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded”.
