Nowhere on earth can challenge my hometown of Northwich for the title of ‘possessor of the most wilfully crowd displeasing museum on earth’.
Northwich felt it was wrong that it should have the world’s only salt museum. So it opened a second one as well. To boast of one salt museum would be a source of unmatched pride for the denizens of Northwich, but two? This truly is heaven on earth.
Many of you will, by this third paragraph, have pondered what a salt museum actually features. You might have deduced that it contains information about how salt is mined as well as geological information about how it came to be there.
WRONG!
Northwich Salt Museum features a single block of salt on a giant pedestal in the middle of a purpose-built chamber of wonder. The Lion Salt Works has the salt in more conventional granular form in a salt cellar made out of finest amethyst. Neither museum offers anything else other than its prime exhibit. This may or may not be true, but it is a fact.
If you fail to attend both the Northwich Salt Museum AND The Lion Salt Works at some point in your life, it means that you are a despicable coward whose bodily organs are made out of actual faeces and you may even be French to boot.
