Glad to hear it, happy reading!

That's so cool, thanks for sharing!

I am a big fan too, hope you can visit his house someday. It is a real treat.

MustachioMan17 So awesome~ ✨😂✨

ha, oh Edward. ;)

Thanks, we loved visiting too!

Me too, thanks! :)

I would love to go back some day for a Part 2!

Saw it last week….it really doesn’t feel like the home of anyone, let alone Edward Gorey…it’s been scrubbed clean of his furnishings, books, clutter, etc and instead, glass cases of his works are the main event. It’s like a giant gift shop. You can’t even see the upstairs where he did his artwork… sad that they did not take any pains to preserve the home the way he left it, which would be far more interesting than leaving a tv set up in the living room with endless re-runs of the opening of PBS Mystery…we are already familiar with his work, we come to ‘see’ the man…what he surrounded himself with, what inspired him, how he lived… if you visit Val-kill, the home of Eleanor Roosevelt, it looks as if she has just stepped out of the room for a cup of tea…this one looks as if they are getting ready for a new tenant.

My understanding is that Gorey had a heart attack in his home and then was taken to the hospital where he died.

Thanks, much appreciated!

Would love to see that!

Isn't he lovely? And the house is so fun to explore, I have visited a few times as well. Cheers!

A curator should have much more respect for Gorey’s belongings…this museum resembles a large gift shop far more than it does the intimate home of this quirky artist. So much of the contents are gone…his books, furnishings, etc…can’t even see the studio where he created his art. We visited last week…such a disappointment. Sad.

@@maryf259 I'm very sorry you didn't enjoy your visit. I found Gregory (our curator 2 years ago) to be incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and very accommodating. As the house itself, in typical Cape Cod style, is not very large, keeping any additional furnishings above what they have done would be... cumbersome, and would leave very little room for visitors to move around. The actual gift shop area is very small in comparison to the size of the house. IMHO the Elephant House has done an excellent job of exhibiting as much of his art and eclectic collections as possible, and the limited space allows fans to get up close to every exhibit. They also manage to do something quirky and fun each year... when we went, it was a scavenger hunt for the Gashlycrumb Tinies. Perhaps someday the upstairs rooms will be open for visitors as well, but it does take money to refurbish and maintain. This is a good reminder to me to renew my membership, so thanks.

At the moment, the Freeze material that the Edward Gorey House has is not on display. That will be for a future exhibit.

@@gregoryhischak2637 A lot of us hope so! Thanks for responding.

Object lessons were a teaching method popular in the Victorian era, where an example of a physical object is used when teaching facts and speculation about that class of object. Perhaps you are not avoiding the the delusion that delusions are avoidable?
