The Edward Gorey House is pleased to announce our 2009 special exhibit

Gorey's Creatures ~ Real and Imagined The exhibit features a wide-range of animals and creatures from Gorey's ever popular cats and bats, to bugs and slugs, and the imaginary characters Figbash and Skrump. This exhibit showcases original pencil sketches, pen and ink drawings and watercolors, along with some of Gorey's hand-sewn stuffed creatures. Many works in the exhibit are unpublished; some are on loan from private collections and have never before been on public display, creating a special opportunity for even the most serious Gorey fans and collectors to see works exhibited for the first time.
