The Craske Museum, a derelict metal and glass building with revolving doors, its African Art Exhibit ransacked by looters.

The Craske Museum, an African Art Museum and once an attraction for outsiders, never got much attention from the residents of Heytown themselves. Built in the 1950's, its unremarkable architecture blends in between the buildings in which it is nestled. The Mueseum, named after Walter John Craske, a collecter of African artifacts, and a one-time adventurer in the Congo and the jungles of Nigeria, contained mostly African artwork, historical artifacts, and visual timelines of Africa's history. It also featured other exhibits, however, including an exhibit on Chinese inventions, Russian artwork, and a short-lived exhibit on the trend of decorating Automobiles, which was vandalised beyond repair three days after it opened, costing the museum thousands of dollars.

After the Outbreak, the Museum was taken over by unaffiliated survivors, due to its strategic nature. It is squeezed in the middle of what is known as the Craske Triangle: the Usher Building(a Necrotech Laboratory), Cornelius General Hospital in Spracklingbank, and Goldney Place Police Department. This gives the Museum a fortress-like quality, which has made it an important position to hold in Heytown.

Old Posters Decorated with a Local Groups Graffiti

In late 2006, a small group of Survivors took control of the museum, during a siege of the triangle. As all involved were rather angry at the situation, and the base of their operations was the Museum, they called themselves the Mad Craskers. They control the museum to this day, and their graffiti can be seen on old museum banners.

The Craske Museum is often the center of activity in southern Heytown, due to its resources. However, it is less frequented than the Bowles Museum, due to Bowles' close proximity to Dowdney Mall, in Santlerville.

Barricade Policy

The Craske Museum is to be kept Extremely Heavily barricaded at all times to protect the valuable artwork and artifacts, and to keep the Museum safe for control of the Triangle.

Current Events

August 19, 2008-"The Museum is back in Crasker control and EXB. Some more people could be used in there to help hold the place though. Just stay out of my stash!!!"--Tsalagi 19 August 2008

August 9th, 2007 - "The Museum is still in Crasker hands. It has not been ransacked, despite the LUE sleep-over at Usher Building and Cornelius General Hospital during the first week of August and the persistent, seemingly endless siege of Corney, now in it's third month. " --KelsonHaldane 09 August 2007

July 28th, 2007 - "The Museum is still in Crasker hands. It has served as the defensive staging ground for the Cornelius siege by the Undeadites, Sea-World crew (Dolphin and his zerging ALTs) and an equal number of oblivious ferals, looking to cure their itch. " --KelsonHaldane 28 July 2007

April 6th, 2007 - "The Museum is back in Crasker hands after a devastating assault by the RRF AU10 strike team. Barricades are heavy, but the situation is still uncertain. " --etimS 05:41, 7 April 2007 (BST)

April 19th, 2007 - "The Museum is secured, with the RRF out of sight. It now serves as a safehouse for those not needing to stock up in resource buildings." --etimS 23:22, 19 April 2007 (BST)

April 28th, 2007 - "The Museum is occupied by a single zombie. However, it should be noted that this zombie was invited inside by the visiting members of the Craske Building International Playboys, and is a member of their moving party. Survivors are not to kill the zombie, as he poses no harm to anyone." --etimS16:28, 28 April 2007 (BST)

June 14th, 2007 - "The Museum is secured after the Minions of the Apocalypse entered, enticed by the brains and beer within. However, after being eaten through and through, the brave defenders got back up, got a change of pants, and took back the beer, sometimes straight out of the bellies of the dead. The brains went unclaimed, as one defender testified "They just get in the way, anyways, and tend to tell you annoying things like: 'You drink that vodka/whiskey/oil paint mix and you wont wake up when the zombies start chewing on your arms', so naturally, they weren't the highest priority, and we decided we were better off without them". However, a few did make the effort to reclaim their frontal lobes, and all within the Museum agreed that grey matter made a damn fine base for moonshine." -- EtimS 20:19, 14 June 2007 (BST)
