Cabot Museum

The Cabot Museum of Archaeology is a fictional institution located in Boston, created by H. P. Lovecraft and Hazel Heald in the story "Out of the Aeons". It is part of the Cthulhu Mythos. 
Originally designed as a mansion by Bullfinch in 1919,  the small museum specialises in objects from ancient and unknown civilisations. Before interest in the ancient Pacific mummy in 1932 it held little public interest, but had widespread recognition in scientific circles. The mummy's presence caused a surge of occult visitors and break-ins, leading to the death of a guard and two intruders on the 1st of December 1, 1932.
