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.
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.
