Edward Gorey House Slideshow

The winking skeleton, the couple dancing, the swoon heard round the world. For decades, Edward Gorey’s animation has charmed MASTERPIECE Mystery! fans. Behind this iconic animation is the story of the innovative and infinitely talented artist Edward Gorey.

MASTERPIECE traveled to Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts to the Edward Gorey House to investigate his home and learn more about his life. Come along and see some behind-the-scenes images of our favorite nooks and corners of this one-of-a-kind museum.
