Frommer's Review

At this museum devoted to the life and works of Edward Gorey, you can peek into the artist's whimsically mischievous world. Perhaps most widely known for the animated opening to the television series Mystery! on PBS, Gorey died in 2000, and his home on the Yarmouth Port Common has been converted into an intimate museum. On display are original artworks, photographs, and first editions from his career as an author, playwright, illustrator, and costume and set designer. Gorey's passion for animals is also a focus of the collection.
