About Ye Olde Curiosity Museum

Three floors of absolute madness await inside this wonderfully eccentric little museum right in Mablethorpe's town centre. Victorian taxidermy sits alongside vintage penny arcade machines, while glass cases overflow with everything from antique medical instruments to bizarre maritime curiosities hauled up from the North Sea.

Families with teenagers tend to love this place - there's something delightfully creepy about the stuffed two-headed lamb that gets everyone talking. Younger kids might find some exhibits a touch unsettling, though the old-fashioned slot machines on the ground floor usually keep them entertained. History buffs will spend ages poring over the local shipwreck artifacts and faded photographs of Lincolnshire's seaside past.

Allow a good hour to properly explore all three levels, though some visitors find themselves staying much longer, drawn into the stories behind each peculiar exhibit. The museum's quirky charm makes it a perfect rainy-day diversion when staying at nearby Haven Golden Sands or any of the local caravan sites around Sutton-on-Sea.

It's proper old-school museum curation - no interactive screens or glossy displays, just cabinet after cabinet of genuinely intriguing oddities. Whether it's worth seeking out depends entirely on your appetite for the bizarre and unusual.
