Museum of Cryptozoology

A few days ago we ventured up to Portland, ME to visit the International Museum of Cryptozoology. I'd been wanting to check it out for a year or so, and we finally went.

The museum doesn't contain a whole lot of science- based exhibits; it's more like a fan's altar to mysterious sightings and local lore. There are displays on everything from Bigfoot and Yeti, including examples of known hoaxes such as Fiji mermaids and Jackelopes.

It's a pretty small museum, mostly made up of display cases containing everything from movie props to stuffed animals to casts of Sasquatch footprints.

I found out about this place on Atlas Obscura, so at least now I can check off another location I've been to.
