For those of us in New England, take note: Kirk (Metallica) Hammett's traveling collection is coming to the Peabody museum in historic Salem, Mass., from August 12 to Nov. 26, 2017. Making the trip even more worth it, you could visit Count Orlock's nightmare gallery of full size classic monsters. The owner even has a rarely seen John Carradine as Dracula (which may or may not be on view). Go before October 5 unless you don't mind waiting in long lines.

Road trip!
I visit Salem periodically as I have a friend who lives there; we have already made plans to see this when it opens. Great stuff! :)

I would be ecstatic to see and witness in person his collection
Curated beautifully-- some great artifacts like Karloff's suit from Black Cat and Lugosi in his White Zombie gear. I loved it. I has a blast going through it and posted a ton of pictures on instagram. If you'd like to see them find my account AndyTFish
Really worth the trip!
I saw the exhibit today and plan on returning to see it again before it wraps up in November. Well worth the trip! Such wonderful classic items and presented very tastefully. :)
