Crab Museum LATES
26th April, 2026
To celebrate International Crab Day 2026, we will be opening until 9pm on Sunday the 26th of April. Join us for an informal crab-themed ‘late-night’ hangout with future friends.
8th May, 2026
Join us on the 8th of May as we partner up with Secret Mode Games to launch their newest video game EVERYTHING IS CRAB. This rogue-lite game follows a blob called Darwin as they navigate eating, and not getting eaten, to progress through stages of evolution.
We’ll be welcoming the game development team who will be explaining the ins-outs and round-abouts of crafting an educational crab themed video game.
Accompanying the game developers, Crab Museum residents will be giving a series of short talks on evolution, carcinisation and crab boinkies - obviously.
Salty, Wet - Lydia Wong - Art Exhibition - Crab Museum Presents
9th May, 2026
Join us for the opening night of Lydia Wong’s exhibition, Salty, Wet at LIMBO, Margate
Hong Kong artist Lydia Wong’s work is rife with crabs, whose transformative shell moulting is used in Wong’s work as a method through which we can interrogate the changing nature of Hong Kong identity.
Join us for the opening of Salty, Wet, as we interrogate and explore the Hong Kong archipelago, the crabs within it, and the political implications of ‘One Country, Two Systems’ on resistance and artistic expression.
Alongside Lydia’s work will be a selection of short Crab-centric talks from Crab Museum friends, examining philosophical angles to crabs and their representation in iconography.
