He said it hasn't hurt his business (I'm sure it hasn't). The paintings in the store are very interesting and our friends who live in Sweden bought one of the paintings to ship over there (I can only imagine how much that costs!). I love meeting the owners of these stores that have been in business for a very long time. There's always a piece of history you can learn from them!

Count Orlok's Nightmare Gallery was on my list of places to check out while visiting Salem last…read moreweek. It is located on Essex Street and they have you wait in line outside of the museum. Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for kids (ages 6-12). You can either buy your tickets while waiting in line using a QR code or at the counter once you go inside. They do not allow photos or recording while walking through the gallery - the staff even states that they are watching on the surveillance cameras for anyone pulling out their phones. We enjoyed walking through each section and reading about each horror character and the fun facts about the movies or TV shows they were from. I really liked that the characters actually looked like the people and not some knock-off wax museum. Some of my favorites were the wall of actor face molds and the slasher room. I also like that you can walk through each room and area at your own pace and I never once felt rushed by the other people or staff. They have a small gift shop with t-shirts and other items you can buy. You are allowed to take photos inside of the gift shop. This is a must if you are a horror fan!

They're outside of my price range though. Although looking up some of his other works, they are very reasonable prices! It depends on what people are willing to pay for art. There are prints and sketches available as well. There's also some custom pottery by a local artist who lives on one of the islands. Her name escapes me as of this writing. That's what I like about these little known artists and stops, you're not going to find them on the internet. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this gallery again: but if you like maritime-themed paintings, or happen to be a fan of John Stobart, then this may be something that you're interested in.

It is not only a place to enjoy (and buy) art, but it is also used as a place for community education and collaboration of art, at any form!

Ela also took us to a tour in the magic old streets of Marblehead and to the beautiful beach. I recommend anyone that is traveling in the Boston area to stop by this magical place for a good hour. We loved it, and will be back!

We spent several hours looking at the art on display, viewing the exhibits, and spending time in the library watching the documentary while flipping through books in their extensive collection. We both enjoyed the documentary, and it gave us both a greater appreciation for the important work TST does. If you've seen their online store, you know what to expect in the gift shop. I've ordered things online several times and always received my items promptly. The staff onsite was equally helpful in assisting my daughter select some jewelry that she loves. If you don't know what the temple stands for, I encourage you to stream the documentary "Hail Satan?" or read the FAQ on their website. TST is probably not at all what you think it is and the work they do is more important now than ever before.
