My visit to the Eldritch Horizons Cthulhu Museum, Dunwich, Massachusetts
Today I visited the Cthulhu Museum in Dunwich, a hauntingly mysterious place, filled with eldritch artifacts and disturbing exhibits.
Greetings, everyone! I wanted to take a moment to share some captivating visuals from my recent excursion to the Eldritch Horizons Cthulhu Museum in the enchanting town of Dunwich.
Stepping away from the creative cocoon of my upcoming novels and children's books, I immersed myself in the intriguing allure of this extraordinary museum.
My deep appreciation for haunting and mysterious locales drew me to this must-see destination, and the experience did not disappoint!
The museum is housed in a centuries-old, Gothic-style building with weathered stone façade, intricate carvings, and a sense of foreboding. Moss-covered statues of grotesque beings flank the entrance, creating an otherworldly ambiance. The building itself seems to be an ancient relic, echoing the eldritch tales associated with the Cthulhu Mythos.
