Welcome to the Skeptiseum, the skeptical museum of the paranormal hosted by The Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP). Each item in the Skeptiseum galleries is represented in the real-world collection of CSICOP Senior Research Fellow Joe Nickell. Please take a look around: you'll see that we have many galleries filled with artifacts and information that we hope you'll find both educational and entertaining.

New Feature Exhibit: Miraculous Portraits of Jesus?

    

[enlarge] 		As early as the sixth century there have appeared certain images of Jesus that were said to be acheiropoietoi--Greek for "not made with hands." There were different versions of these and as many legends to explain their allegedly miraculous origin. Some modern writers have placed the Shroud of Turin in this genre. Go to the Feature Exhibit.

Welcome to the new and improved Skeptiseum. In both design and navigation, this totally revised virtual museum of the paranormal and pseudoscience collection of CSICOP Senior Research Fellow Joe Nickell you'll find significant improvements. A variety of navigational tools on each page will help you find your way through the museum items. Smaller images presented on smaller pages devoted to individual items and displays will significantly improve download times. Many thanks to the Campus Freethough Alliance's Thanh Ly for his invaluable contributions to the Skeptiseum's design and tireless hours given to porting content and images over into the new templates.
