The former home of American author and illustrator Edward Gorey, purchased in 1979, has been converted into a museum to honor his life and works. Built in 1820, this historic home showcases Gorey's distinctive style, known for its dark, whimsical, and sometimes macabre illustrations. His extensive collection of illustrated books has captivated readers of all ages, particularly children. Visitors to the museum can explore his creative legacy through exhibits and guided tours, which are available from April through December.

In Bali, dance isn’t just for show—it’s how stories are told, spirits honoured, and traditions passed down. You’ll see hypnotic Legong and Joged dances, the dramatic Barong show (good vs. evil, Balinese-style), and scenes from the Ramayana brought to life through movement and gamelan music. For a classic experience, head to Batubulan for open-air Barong performances each morning. Wayang kulit (shadow puppet theatre) still pops up at art centres and during special festivals. Many hotels also host traditional shows most evenings—so it’s easy to catch one without much planning.
