Peabody Essex Museum with Yin Yu Tang House

Saturday, March 27

Begin the day with a delicious, included lunch at the historic Hawthorne Hotel. Then enjoy the afternoon exploring the collections at the Peabody Essex Museum. You will have over 3 hours to browse the museum’s 2.4-million-dollar collection with works of art from the 1700s to today: paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings, textiles, architecture, decorative objects and more. Peabody Essex Museum’s recent gallery expansion added 40,000 square feet to the main facility! The expansion and new galleries feature Salem Stories, Maritime Art, Asian Exports, Fashion & Design, the creative legacy of Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Powerful Figures featuring sculptures from diverse cultures around the world and across time.

Tour the Yin Yu Tang House, located on PEM’s campus, the only complete Qing Dynasty house outside of China. We’ll explore this 16-bedroom Chinese merchant’s house with our docent guide to discover this rare example of the region’s architecture and learn about the daily life of the eight generations of the Huang family that inhabited the house for over 200 years. The family’s well-documented genealogy and the accumulation of furnishings passed down through eight generations offer the opportunity to understand historical changes in China as they affect individuals in their daily lives. Please note due to its historic nature, the second floor of the Yin Yu Tang House is not accessible to walkers or wheelchairs.
