Author Information
The Crab Museum of Margate is run by Ned, Bertie and Chase, but more importantly, it is Europe's first and only museum dedicated to the humble decapod. Crabs are a sideways-scuttling guide not just to the history of life on Earth, but also its future - from capitalism to climate change, there's nothing that can't be understood through the lens of these fascinating crustaceans. With inventive exhibits that combine humour, science and philosophy, the award-winning Crab Museum pursues the noble claws of seeking to understand crabs, and through them, ourselves.Inga Ziemele is a Latvian illustrator based in London. As the Queen of Ingaland, she presides over a colourful, chaotic world of neon mayhem, in-your-face characters and explosively comical scenes. Inga's clients include Spotify, Nike, Crocs, YouTube, VOXI and Red Bull.
