Construction of the museum is well under way, and we hope that the rest of the floor will be laid today. We would like to thank Travis Perkins builder’s merchants http://www.travisperkins.co.uk/ for having generously sponsored this leg of the project. However, the project is proving far more expensive than we had originally envisaged, and further stages of construction may have to wait until we can either raise the money, or get further sponsorship.
Here’s your chance to help. If you go to:
http://www.cfz.org.uk/mus/index.htm
you can make a donation to help us proceed. Every dollar and every pound helps, so if you are interested in what we do please help us. If everybody on our mailing liust alone was to donate just £5 or $10 we would have enough to complete phases 1 amd 2 of the museum plans immediately.
The name of every person who makes a donation through this webpage will be placed on the museum website,and on a board in the museum itself, marking them as a benefactor. People can also sponsor a particular exhibit or animalfor a year, and their name will be displayed prominently on the exhibit.
The concept of the museum is to present evidence for the existence of unknown animals (cryptids),alongside exhibits illustrating the habitat where these creatures are reported to live. The first four `habitats` will be:
Central African rainforest
Southern USA swampland
Amazon Basin
Southeast Asian hillstream
Alongside these habitats will be exhibits detailing local freshwater and marine ecology, and their linksto such local mystery animals such as `the beast of Exmoor`.
Other `habitats` will be added as time goes on, and there will also be permanent exhibitions, consisting of computer installationsand specimens brought back from our expeditions to
Puerto Rico
Thailand
Sumatra
The Gambia
Mongolia.
