The Psychedelic Museum exists to research, preserve, and share objects and stories from all expressions of psychedelic culture.

We will:

Collect, conserve and share the material traces of psychedelic culture.

Establish curated exhibitions in physical and virtual spaces.

To inspire, educate, entertain and inform people about psychedelic culture.

Some of our aims are:

  • To establish a not for profit organisation, open to the general public and to actively seek to promote and advertise its presence worldwide.
  • To develop a collection of objects relating to all aspects of  psychedelic drug culture.
  • To share these objects in ways that are informative, stimulating and engaging, and in ways that are accessible to as many audiences as possible.
  • To create and develop a comprehensive library resource, preserving the written, visual and oral histories of psychedelic culture.
  • To develop spaces where visitors can record and share their memories of experiences and/or involvement with psychedelic substances and culture.
  • To act as an information resource for researchers, students, academics and those interested in psychedelic culture.
  • To provide environments in which psychedelic culture related events, displays, talks, meetings and conferences can take place.
  • To raise money via grants, donations, crowd-funding, sales etc. with which to ensure the future survival and ongoing development of the museum.
