Item Contributions
All Cryptozoological Items Are Welcome
If you are unable to donate fiscally, you may have materials that are, in essence, the foundation that has built the museum through exactly such contributions. Avoid having these pieces of cryptozoological history end up lost and forgotten, and donate them to the museum to be archived or put on display!
The International Cryptozoology Museum, as part of our mission, actively archives old, and investigates new cryptozoology cases, via files, collected papers, photos, and more.
We are honored that various well-known cryptozoologists and associates of expeditions have decided to leave their papers, clothing, and equipment with us, for cataloguing and exhibition.
As the world’s only cryptozoology museum, please note, we are especially interested in displaying and sharing with the general public, researchers, academics, and documentary filmmakers – the physical evidence of cryptozoology – including hair/fecal samples, foot casts, and other physical items.
Additionally, we collect traditional and Native art and artifacts, as well as contemporary toys, related to cryptids. Contributions to our museum in this realm are important. As a nonprofit, we send letters acknowledging donations for your tax records upon request.
If you have original indigenous art, or locally crafted contemporary examples of paintings, sculptures, and masks depicting cryptids, please consider sending them to the International Cryptozoology Museum (address above).
