It’s absolutely worth a trip if you are in the western area of Cape Code.Īnd if you can’t make it to the Cape, check out Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Visit Edward Gorey House website to see his work and find out museum hours/exhibition schedule. I can’t imagine Gorey would have had it any other way! I added a little Gorey drawing of a cat looking through a window that was very oddly similar to the photo I took…of a cat looking through a window. But this cat knows the roll he’s playing. It is the house caretaker’s cat obviously. Which, of course, is exactly what one would expect to see in Edward Gorey’s house. But as we passed the stairwell to the upstairs, this is what we saw (see below). The upstairs where his studio was located, which I really wanted to see, was not open to the public.
Even the kitchen is as he left it when he died.
The museum is basically his old house without much modification from how he left it.
We visited the Edward Gorey museum last week out on the Cape in Port Yarmouth. Perhaps you remember the animated pen and ink style animated opening to PBS’s “Mystery” back in the day? He was also known for having a bunch of cats, and for drawing lots of them in his artwork and books. Edward Gorey was a very popular illustrator known for his distinctive pen and ink work and quirky dark topics, all with a sense of humor.
