Welcome, explorer.
You have stumbled upon the Merrylin Cryptid Museum, the life's work
of Crypto-naturalist, Fringe Zoologist and Xeno -Archeologist Thomas
Merrylin. This is an alternative history installation project and was
created and maintained by curator Alex CF. The museum is an exercise
in a passion for turn of the century scientific discovery, science
fiction, fantasy and horror, presented as an immersive experience for
the viewer. The entire collection explores the idea of rooting
mythology within Darwinian evolution, with a focus on making the
fantastical plausible. The museum exists to inspire. The Merrylin
Collection was about our similarities, about the connectivity of all
life, about how we should protect species, not obsess over them once
they are extinct and become myth. The Merrylin collection is about
evidence based science, about using critical thinking. Regardless of
whether you came seeking truths, let that be what you leave with, that
the world is full of very real, very incredible species, and artefacts
of cultures we must preserve, protect and understand.
