Poe in Film & Fashion Exhibit

Presented by Poe Baltimore at 1840s Plaza, this NEW "Poe in Film & Fashion" exhibit explores the ways in which Edgar Allan Poe's life and  works continue to inspire and shape popular culture. Learn of the  mysterious circumstances of Poe's death in Baltimore in 1849 and how the  very clothes in which he was found are a tantalizing clue to the mystery of his final days. Next, explore the living arts of fashion and  costume in recent films that adapt Poe's life or works, and the aesthetics at play in how Poe is interpreted for modern audiences. A mobile app and live guide are available to answer your questions!

This exhibit includes costumes from recent film & television programs, including Altered Carbon starring Chris Conner as Poe on Netflix/ Skydance, and a special sneak peek at production and costume details from 3 Days Rising,  a new movie adaptation of Poe's "Fall of the House of Usher," starring  Peter Greene, Ice-T, Mickey Rourke and Frank Whaley.
