I'd glue it back together and use it as a base for some sort of diorama, maybe a grassy area with a Tiger Tank parked up.2

You could also make it into a cheese, pizza or charcuterie board using food grade epoxy (you probably shouldn't use it as a chopping board)
You'd need a round silicone mould the right size and can get small kits online. This kind of thing:I'm not an early bird or a night owl; I’m some form of permanently exhausted pigeon.1 -

Honestly after getting 20 years of use out of it I'd accept it was its time! I appreciate you not wanting to bin things willy-nilly but don't spend time and money trying to make something out of it, it's really not worth it. Let it go (as the song says!)1 -
As a woodworker, I can see the breaks look clean. Careful rub down with 120 grit sandpaper, or pick off any old glue with a knife, and re-glue using decent wood glue (Titebond 2, is considered one of the best). Clamp together, but not so tightly as the wood warps. Rub down the whole thing with 240 grit sandpaper and then give it as much mineral oil as it will hold. And dont put it in the dishwasher... ever!1

Break it down into it's various parts and make some labels out of them with pyrography.1

I was in waiting room the other day that has a display cabinet of fine models, find it helps with the white coat syndrome.0 -
As suggested by OddballJock I would give the edges a sand, and then glue it together using strong wood glue.

I've had a similar thing happen on my wooden boards. Dead simple if it's a clean break, which it looks to be. A bead of EvoStik Resin W wood glue, clamp it together firmly, leave overnight, good as new.No, I don't work for EvoStik! It's just of those products that's been around for generations, and with good reason - it's bloomin' good stuff. "Stronger than the wood itself", they claim, and I'm inclined to agree having used it religiously for more years than I care to remember.1
