The Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts, grew from a maritime collection established in 1799 into a museum exploring art and culture from around the world. Its campus combines contemporary galleries with historic buildings, including the Yin Yu Tang house, a 200-year-old Chinese merchant residence relocated from Anhui province. The museum’s collections range from Asian art and American decorative arts to maritime objects, photography and contemporary works. Its international focus reflects Salem’s long history of global trade, with objects connected to China, Japan, Korea, India, Africa and the Americas. The historic houses and gardens make the museum feel more like a cultural district than a single building.
