Item Description

Now in its third century, the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem has transformed itself into a national presence. Impressive collections of art from New England and around the world are just part of the story. The museum owns two dozen houses, including a well-preserved 18th-century Qing dynasty house, Yin Yu Tang, that was shipped here from China and reassembled. The 1.4 million other items in the museum's permanent collections blend contemporary acquisitions with "the natural and artificial curiosities" that Salem's sea captains and merchants brought back from around the world. Other noteworthy collections include American, African, Indian, Asian, and East Asian art and objects; photography; and the practical arts and crafts of East Asian, Pacific Island, and Native American peoples. Win admission for four and spend a wonderful day in this beautiful museum.
