This takes an irreverent look at the crustacean with a whole range of displays and fun captions. There is also a gift shop selling a range of fun postcards, pencils and other gifts for the crab-lover in your life.
If you were expecting a fairly dry museum, some of the displays will have you scratching your chin. The team behind the museum include a geographer, which is always a sign of quality.
The blog has a range of interesting posts, which will also give you an insight into the sense of humour that sits behind the whole experience.
Admission to the museum is FREE, and they promise that if you don't enjoy it you'll get your money back.
It gave me an idea for a possible student activity: that each member of a group selects a card with the name of a native animal from a chosen context e.g. British wildlife.
The plan would then be for the students to develop a plan for a museum, and some of the exhibits that would go into it, and create some display material, interpretive signage etc. I'm sure you can think of other elements to this task.
In time, once things become clearer, I will create a card deck for the activity with some sample UK wildlife to choose from, and a rubric for the task as well.
