{ ethereal manifestations: Poe } | The Poe Museums’ Unhappy Hour

Past conceptual ruminations come to life at The Poe Museum. Their 2024 UnHappy Hour kicked off April 25th with a “Goth Prom” theme! Part of Richmond Virginia’s First Friday Offerings the Poe Museum is a favorite worldwide for ‘all things Poe!’

{Ethereal Manifestations: Poe} is a projection-mapped art piece that intertwines the haunting, atmospheric themes of Edgar Allan Poe with the rich, historical architecture of the Museum’s Poe Shrine. Poe’s works—full of dark beauty, mystery, and psychological depth—serve as the perfect foundation for this immersive experience. By projecting these iconic themes onto the shrine, the piece transforms the space into a living, breathing homage to the Gothic tales of madness, love, and mortality that Poe so masterfully crafted. As we navigate through the intertwining of Poe’s world and the intricate details of the shrine’s architecture, the work breathes new life into the shadows and whispers that pervade Poe’s stories.
