Summer at th Edward Gorey House

  

The Edward Gorey House is in full summer mode. Have you planned your pilgrimage visit yet?

The Edward Gorey House is the only museum dedicated solely to the works of Edward Gorey. Housed in Mr. Gorey's rambling home in Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts, the museum mounts a unique themed exhibition annually, mixing original artworks, books, and ephemera along with personal items. 

The 2023 exhibition, Dressed To Kill, Edward Gorey and the Social Fabric, shines a runway spotlight on the clothing and costume designs created by Edward Gorey for his books, illustrations, and stage productions.

If you are unable to visit The Edward Gorey House in person, you can still show your support with an annual House membership. Members are rewarded with several benefits including free admissions and discounts at the gift shop, both in person and online. 

A desirable membership premium at the $100.00 Donor level (and above) is a highly collectible exhibition booklet created by museum curator Gregory Hischak. Begun in 2020, each annual booklet is fully illustrated and features new essays by Mr. Hischak that give in-depth context to the current exhibition. Produced in very small print runs, these booklets are unique collector's items that are highly sought after.
