Museum Research
One of the main functions of a museum is to offer an area and information for research purposes. Below, you will find a list of resources and links to other gargoyle pages that should fit your research needs. For even more information on gargoyles, feel encouraged to visit your local college or public library. If you are lucky enough to have a gothic cathedral in your neighborhood, you may even have the opportunity to view some gargoyles in person. May your research be fruitful.
