Spacious exhibit is in a beautiful building. It exceeded my expectations. I particularly liked the display of crypto-inspired alcohol brands.

The world began to take monsters seriously - as a tourist attraction, anyway - with the opening of the International Cryptozoology Museum on November 1, 2003. The Portland, Maine museum covers a menagerie of fantastic beasts, from celebrity cryptids like Nessie to less-familiar horrors such as the Mongolian Death Worm. Its most popular exhibit with kids is a ponderous pile of Bigfoot poop.

The International Cryptozoology Museum added quite a few more exhibits, including one devoted to the movie Creature From The Black Lagoon and related reptilean creatures of Florida.
