The Museum of Miniature Found Objects announces with great sadness the passing of Poupette, the miniature giant anteater who was a great favourite with visitors to Stott's Fantastical Emporium: Revisited, our current exhibition. Regrettably, she choked to death on an olive, fed to her by a well-meaning enthusiast. Please note, we do stress the importance of refraining from feeding the exhibits when in the galleries.
The museum invites you to make a donation to the Poupette Fund. This will be used to commission a memorial to this much-loved Fantastical, who had found her way into so many visitors' and staff members' hearts. Donations can be made online (at MMFO.com), or at the Museum Gift Shop.
