How did I not hear about Mary Shelly's House of Frankenstein Museum in Bath, England sooner? This attraction recently opened in July 2021 and it sounds amazing!! I would love to visit this immersive museum in person some day.
Watch the brief video above about Mary Shelly's House of Frankenstein Museum. Additionally, click on the above link to check out this museum's website.
Wow, simply wow, at the sheer fact that a first edition copy of Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein, sells for $1.17 million dollars at auction.
I learned about the recent auction through an online article from CNN titled, First edition copy of 'Frankenstein' sells for over $1 million at auction by Kaanita Iyer. In the article, Kaanita Iyer wrote the following:
Christie's, which hosted the auction, estimated the book would go for $200,000 to $300,000. But by selling for nearly four to six times as much, the book set a record for the highest price paid for a published work by a woman, according to Fine Books Magazine.
I think it's pretty cool that Frankenstein set the record for the highest price paid for a published work written by a woman.
