Envisioning the Museum ofThe Unexplained

A Place Where the Legends Come to Life.

A Dream
In the Making

David Eller has dedicated his life to uncovering the truth behind cryptids and unexplained phenomena. Over decades of research, he has amassed a vast collection of physical artifacts, evidence, and cultural treasures tied to Bigfoot and other cryptozoological legends. These items—along with his network of collaborators in the field—form the foundation of an extraordinary concept: the Museum of Cryptozoology and Bigfoot Studies.

This museum will serve as a hub for enthusiasts, skeptics, and researchers alike, showcasing the history, science, and wonder behind cryptozoological phenomena. From plaster casts of footprints to detailed accounts of encounters, the museum will invite visitors to explore the unexplained and challenge their understanding of the natural world.

"The stories, evidence, and artifacts we’ve gathered deserve a home where they can inspire curiosity and spark discovery for generations to come."
– David Eller, Founder of P.U.R.S.U.E.

Why it Matters

The world is full of mysteries, and the study of cryptids is more than chasing myths—it’s about preserving cultural heritage, encouraging scientific curiosity, and exploring the unknown.
Cryptozoology’s importance lies in its ability to challenge assumptions and inspire discovery

A museum dedicated to this field would:

Provide a permanent archive for cryptozoological research.
Celebrate the diverse stories and folklore that surround cryptids.
Offer a space where enthusiasts can connect and share their passion.

But this vision can only become reality with the support of people who believe in its significance.
