Description

The Craske Museum is a fortress-like structure in Heytown strategically situated between the Usher Building (a NecroTech laboratory), Cornelius General Hospital in Spracklingbank, and Goldney Place Police Department. Due to its location, in the center of an area that has come to be known as the Craske Triangle, the building is vitally important. The view of the surrounding neighborhood is excellent from all four sides of the museum. Securing and holding the Craske Museum as a base is crucial to being able to effectively guard each adjacent Tactical Resource Point (TRP).

... The solidly constructed old stone building gives the Museum is a great observation point, a critical advantage over would-be invaders...,  ... 

Barricade Policy

The Craske Museum is to be kept Extremely Heavily barricaded (EHB) at all times, as per the Heytown Barricade Plan, to protect the resource-rich neighborhood, and to keep the strategic... safe for control of the Craske Triangle.

Current Status

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

History

The Craske Museum, was for some decades an African Art Museum. It was once an attraction for outsiders, but never got much attention from the residents of Heytown themselves.

Built in the 1930s as an administrative building, something... legacy...donation, gift to Heytown...The Museum, named after Jonathan Andrew Craske, a collector of African artifacts and one-time adventurer in the Congo and the jungles of Nigeria, contained mostly African artwork, historical artifacts, and visual timelines of Africa's history. Its African Art Exhibit was smashed by looters soon after the Outbreak.

In late 2006, a small group of unaffiliated survivors took control of the museum, during a zed siege of the Triangle. As they were 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.
