Britain's lesser-known museums include Margate's crab-themed institution, complete with a suffragette slipper lobster and a trade-unionist reef crab diorama depicting the 1926 General Strike, and a Merseyside museum devoted entirely to the history of lawnmowers, featuring machines once owned by King Charles, Princess Diana, Alan Titchmarsh and Brian May.
Boscastle's Museum of Witchcraft and Magic has operated for more than 70 years, housing artefacts like a bellarmine jar stuffed with hair, nail clippings and pins found near Plymouth. A separate three-room 'morbitorium' offers antique lobotomy tools, Ouija boards, mummified cats and Victorian sex toys, plus after-dark tours and private tarot readings.
Rounding things out, a museum at Leeds Castle near Maidstone holds the world's largest collection of dog collars, more than 130 pieces spanning five centuries.
