Peabody Essex Museum (PEM)

America's oldest continuously running art museum . Lots of American art , folk art , maritime art , as well as a great poster collection, and the famous Chinese House . Rotating exhibits seasonally.

I love this place and come just to kill time sometimes. There is always something new to look at and old favorites to revisit. Plus if you're a Salem Resident or SSU student you get in free!

Excellent maritime and Asian art museum . Spring for the Huang house tour , it is excellent, and don't miss the movie about how they moved it here all the way from China. Fantastic.

Fantastic art/art-history museum that currently has Georgia O'Keefe and TC Cannon collections. Don't miss the East India collection!

O’Keefe exhibit is amazing. My first trip to this museum . It’s lovely. Very nice gift shop as well . Easy to get to and easy to park .

Special exhibits are top notch. Check out the colonial era far east art from the regular collection. A real hidden gem !

People, you must get to this museum . It is both cozy and spacious and has wonderful exhibits , which are wide-ranged.

Rich history and beautiful facility. One of the finest museums on the North Shore.

Great interactive place to bring and be a child again!! Lots of fun things to do and beautiful works of art to see!

Unbelievable Dutch and Flemish art exhibit - make sure to grab a magnifying glass on the way in! And the Chinese House is definitely worth the extra $5!!!

A unique experience which allows you to travel in space and time. One of the oldest museum in the world, 1799.

Take in over 250,000 ft of gallery space showcasing everything from contemporary art to ancient relics. Our fave? The Yin Yu Tang House, a 19th century Chinese home relocated right inside the museum !

Special fee for students showing their ID. Beautiful museum , great exhibits . It totally worths your time and money.

Visited on a Saturday in October and admission was free! They have a lot of awesome collections. Check them out!

Turner's seascape exhibitions combining romanticism and impressionism are truly masterpieces.

I use to love the museum , but they are renovating it right now, and because of that a lot of stuff was moved around or closed.

With the best gift shop around, the PEM offers live entertainment, films , interactive family tours & many opportunities to be creative. Free to Salem residents ...almost worth moving to Salem for!

This super awesome museum has a lot of awesome and interesting stuff out on display

One of the best museums I've been to. Just make sure when you see the sign that no cameras allowed/no pics. They don't catch you. LOL. :0x

A great museum with wonderful & quirky exhibits ! Plan for at least 3-4 hours

Be sure to check out whatever exhibit it traveling through. Recently they had the Strandbeests.

Beautiful museum layout. Some of the exhibits aren't photo friendly though so be aware before you snap any pics!
