The Peabody Essex Museum is a world-class museum with rotating exhibits, including some related to Salem and the trials. If you visit, the Yin Yu Tang House is a must to add on through timed admissions included in your ticket price.

This is your museum! Welcome. There are many reasons to come to PEM. Sometimes, looking at a work of art with someone special by your side is all the motivation you need.

Your experiences shape the art you look at and the performances you watch, making them more meaningful and transformative.
