This Belongs in a Museum

Once called the "Stephen Fry of Museum Blogging," this tumblog, written by a frustrated museologist, is dedicated to the small, random museums and weird attractions of the world. Always informative, usually funny, sometimes offensive.

Bringing you museum-approved grammatical errors and typos since 2010.

Miners Amputation Kit - National Waterfront Museum, Swansea.

This amputation kit was issued to Dr. Arthur Jones, a medical officer with the National Coal Board, who would have used it on the occasions when men were trapped by large pieces of debris. The situation could have been made worse if one of the pieces was disturbed, which would cause more parts to collapse. Trapped, in such a way that they were unable to be moved, victims would have to be amputated by their rescuers or their own workmates in order to save their lives.
