Experience Eric Pape: The Fair God, an extraordinary fine art exhibit featuring over 50 works by renowned artist and former Cape Ann resident, Eric Pape (1870 – 1938). Curated predominantly from the private collection of Dr. Gregory Conn, the world’s leading Pape collector and biographer, this special exhibition showcases a select group of Pape’s 300 illustrations for The Fair God (1898)—many unseen since his death in 1938.


Highlights include:


- Newly restored chapter initials on loan from the General Lew Wallace Study & Museum in Indiana

- Select works from private collectors

- Four mixed media works by contemporary artist Alberto Romero, including a keystone portrait of Eric Pape.


This exhibition coincides with the release of "Eric Pape: The Fair God," Dr. Conn’s new compilation of Pape’s book and magazine illustrations. Signed copies will be available for purchase in the Museum Shop in limited quantities.


Your admission includes:


-Admission to Hammond Castle Museum for self-guided tours

-Access to Eric Pape: The Fair God, fine art exhibit

-Viewing of the three Eric Pape paintings on permanent display, including his sole surviving mural, The Wireless Naval Battle of Gloucester Bay.


All proceeds will support the ongoing restoration and preservation of the Hammond Castle Museum.


*The Invention Room and Natalie Room will be closed to the public at this time of this exhibition as we prepare to open our two new temporary exhibits: Spinning Platters with Hammond: Inside the World of Vinyl Records and Hammond's Video tapes, both of which will open on April 29th.


This event is generously sponsored by our friend, Dr. Gregory Conn.

We warmly welcome our Exhibition Patron: Mollie Byrnes.
