I used to love that museum!

It used to be in Arundel.

I used to live in Arundel, bought my first house there in Queens Lane

That museum was great and weird, it was our teen 'aren't we odd/hip' favourite place

Is this the museum that was in / near the castle entrance ?

Two headed piglets preserved in jars, etc ?

It was opposite the Swan Pub on the corner. On the High Street opposite to River Road.

There's a tearoom there now, mind you there's a tea room in every book and cranny in Arundel.

It's one of those places that are lovely to visit, tho living there can be interesting. One summer a couple of older ladies thought they'd take s look through the window of our cottage.

When I asked if I could help one casually replied "No it's fine, we're just having a look" when I suggested she might want to step out of of our front garden, she looked slightly miffed.

"Ok, no problem" she said shaking her head.

Ha! Loved it there, proper bonkers.

It was a two headed lamb, I think, but I may be wrong.

I used to have the catalogue, but suspect it was thrown out in one of my clutter clears, so I can't check :(
