The Zymoglyphic Museum, “the world’s only repository for the study and display of Zymoglyphic art, artifacts, and natural history. The creative output of the region relies mainly on the assemblage of natural objects. The museum also presents special exhibits on related topics in natural object assemblage, and maintains a curiosity cabinet of items that reflect the spirit of Zymoglyphic culture.”, is a recent discovery and worth a visit. See things like the Zymoglyphic Mermiad:

She comes complete with description: Mermaids are often depicted as glamorous fish-women, but the nature of the actual specimens that have been put on display indicate that this may be somewhat of a myth and very own T.S. Eliot quote to ponder:

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown

OK, so what is Zymoglyphic?:

1. Of, or pertaining to, images of fermentation, specifically the solid residue of creative fermentation on natural objects.
2. The collection and arrangement of objects, primarily either natural or weathered by natural forces, for poetic effect.
