The Zymoglyphic Museum in Portland is the world's only institution devoted to the study and display of art, artifacts, and natural history of the Zymoglyphic region. A veritable trove of zymoglyphic treasures, the museum is home to a “meticulous and whimsical fictional world of found objects and curios” the likes of which have never been seen - and never will be seen again, anywhere. Although currently closed due to COVID-19, check out the museum’s website for virtual tours and/or scroll through the list of publications available. We can’t wait till this pandemic is over so we can go visit places like this - you, too?
