Some
Information About the Museum
The Museum of Unnatural Mystery is the
brainchild of Lee Krystek. Mr. Krystek had for a long time wanted
to build a museum that would explore the fringe edges of science
and at the same time use those subjects to get people interested
in the more mundane aspects of scientific work. A brick and
mortar museum was far beyond his means, but the creation of
the world wide web provided a medium that was affordable enough
for him to realize his dream.
Mr. Krystek is a graduate of Rutgers University
and has a Master of Science Degree from the New Jersey Institute
of Technology. For many years Mr. Krystek pursued a career in
software engineering. After that he shifted his area of expertise
and eventually became a Senior Producer for the world-known
publisher Dow Jones on the Wall Street Journal website,
wjs.com. Most recently Mr. Krystek has graduated from The
College of New Jersey with a Masters of Arts in Teaching.
At that time he also received the coveted Dean of Education's
Award for Academic Excellence.
Mr. Krystek is also an author and in addition
to his writings on the Internet he has been published in magazines
such as Interior Architecture & Design , and contributed
articles to many textbooks including, but not limited to, Humanities
Alive 1, Developing Skills in Writing, and English
Skills: Open Road. Mr. Krystek also has two articles included
in the anthology book Stranger than Fiction where he
is featured with other well-known authors such as David Attenborough
and Arthur C. Clarke. Mr. Krystek is also the author and illustrator
of The Martian Who Looked Like a Dog Series of childrens
books and Cardboard Submarine a novel for children from
age 8-13.
In addition to writing Mr. Krystek is an artist
