The Poe Death Exhibit is a dark re-creation of the day Edgar Allan Poe was laid to rest. In this immersive exhibit, Poe’s body and casket lie in state as you explore the questions that still haunt his final hours. Follow the competing theories, examine how the clothes he wore offer unsettling clues, and pause at a candlelit vigil for the master of horror and mystery.
Then enter The Raven Room. A 20-foot mural by Michael Kirby of Murals of Baltimore brings Poe’s “ominous bird of yore” into the present, blending classic and contemporary style. Encircling the space are 26 sequential illustrations of Poe’s “The Raven” by French artist Gustave Doré, completed just months before Doré’s death, tracing Poe’s most iconic poem in haunting detail.
On view during regular museum hours, included with admission to Carroll Mansion. Hours vary seasonally, so please check the venue listing for today’s open days and times.

Baltimore, October 1849. Edgar Allan Poe is discovered alone, clad in filthy rags, confused and gravely ill, with no clear account of how he came to be there. Within days, he is dead.
