After an extended and entirely avoidable delay, the Gallery has finally reopened. The official explanation was “maintenance,” though this turned out to mean that the housekeeper misplaced the key, insisted she hadn’t, and then, after several weeks of confident denial found it in the pocket of a coat she “never wears.”
With this administrative triumph behind us, the room is now accessible. The dust has been swept into slightly smaller piles, the lights flicker in a way that is apparently “normal,” and the door no longer requires a shoulder‑check to open.
A room set aside for the strange and the beautiful.
This is where the House keeps its artwork. Pieces that feel a little off‑centre, a little haunted, a little too alive.
Inside, you’ll find the first collection: artwork from American Horror Story. A series that has always understood the beauty in the grotesque and, because nothing pairs better with institutional incompetence than stylised horror.
Feel free to step inside. Just don’t ask about the key. No one has the emotional capacity for that conversation again.
