Welcome to the Museum of Natural & Artificial Ephemerata (MNAE), where you have been all along!
- We offer curator led tours on Saturdays. Please RSVP for a tour.
- Revisit our 2004 – 2013 Themed Exhibitions!
- Atmospheres, a mini-themed show, was on view at The Really Small Museum’s “The 14th Corner Contemporary,” July 2022. It ended when a car accident hit the display case.
Located in east Austin, we are one of the few remaining in-home, family-run museums in America. Our mission is to preserve endangered modes of collection, offer a venue where the public can share objects and their stories, and contemplate diverse processes of collecting. You can write to us at mnae.austin@gmail.com.
Visitors to the impermanent collection will tour six interwoven collections:
- The Celebrity Collection
- Naturalia & Artificialia
- Urban Phantasmagoria
- The Snowglobe Collection
- The Bulk Collection
- … and an Entire Wing Dedicated to Sleep!
