The MNCN preserves , for the indefinite future, the breath of creatures that have been attached to the Gothic Fiction since its inception. For the SGM, the Museum has selected some, placing them in the literary context in which are referred to.
DRAWING: We invite visitors to discover in the Museum’s collection other creatures related to Horror Fiction or fantasy that have not been included in the exhibition.

To participate, you just have to indicate the name of the creature, relate it to Gothic fiction, your email address, and place the text in an urn placed for this purpose. We also ask you to suggest us the darkest corner of the Museum. During the first week of December several copies of “Paura: Antología de terror contemporáneo” will be drawn. The list of winners will be published in the online magazine of the Museum: NaturalMente.
