The boyfriend and I are definitely going to be checking this out before March. If you're in the Boston area and into cryptozoology, it might be worth checking out.

Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns & Mermaids
On exhibit through Sunday, March 22
How did the Vikings "prove" the existence of the unicorn? How did the legend of the griffin originate? Examine the relationship between real and imaginary creatures, and discover the beliefs, creativity, fear, and fantasy they inspire in cultures around the world.
Dragons, sea serpents, even the dreaded chupacabra populate this exhibit that shows us how myths are created, celebrated — and sometimes debunked. Explore familiar legends like Bigfoot, discover new mysteries, and learn how cultural artifacts reflect the impact of myths on society.
Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns & Mermaids is organized by the American Museum of Natural History, New York (www.amnh.org) in collaboration with The Field Museum, Chicago; Canadian Museum of Civilization, Gatineau; Australian National Maritime Museum, Sydney; and Fernbank Museum of Natural History, Atlanta.
