Crab Museum is a free-to-enter science museum that uses crabs as a lens to combine seemingly disparate fields of knowledge and create links between the human and natural world.
From the giant claw of the scandalous famous Margate Crab to our diorama of Crabton-on-Tyne, a 1920s model village populated by giant crabs, Crab museum is your one stop shop for the curious world of the crustacean!
Come and pay us a visit and see if we can't change your minds about how cool crabs are!
