The Museum of Imaginary Animals is the fifth album by the English band Pram, released on 12 September 2000.
Critical reception Exclaim! wrote: "It's rare that a band can be this eccentric and daring without sounding contrived or wilfully obscure, but there's an abiding organicism at the heart of Pram that keeps them, well, not exactly grounded, but welcoming." The Washington Post wrote that "Pram isn't as out there as it wants to be, but much of The Museum of Imaginary Animals draws you in." NME deemed the album "fractured and spindly, plundering post-rock and jazz and dub, without really sounding like any of them."
