About the place

The Peabody Essex Museum remains one of the North Shore’s strongest indoor destinations, with calm galleries and light foot traffic through March–May. Maritime history, global art, design installations, rotating exhibitions, and the restored Yin Yu Tang Chinese House make PEM the cultural anchor of downtown Salem long before summer crowds return.
