About us
Founded in 1799 in Salem, Massachusetts, 15 miles from Boston, the Peabody Essex Museum is the oldest continuously operating museum in the United States. Now among the top 8% of American art museums, PEM is also one of the nation’s fastest growing art museums and operates on a global stage in terms of networks, partners, and patronage. PEM has achieved unprecedented growth over the past two decades. In 2003, PEM completed one of the most striking museum transformations in American history, including exponential growth of the operating budget and the addition of over 250,000 square feet of new and renovated gallery and public spaces. This includes 26,000 square feet of changing exhibition galleries and 55,000 square feet of galleries devoted to collection installations. In 2011, the museum announced a comprehensive and singular advancement campaign for $650M. The campaign focuses on increasing an already healthy endowment to support an expanded exhibition program; programmatic initiatives ranging from the interpretive to the digital and educational; global leadership initiatives; and an institutional culture of creativity, all in concert with fiscal stability and sound management, based on annual budget of $31 million. PEM is adding a 40,000 square-foot wing scheduled to open in summer 2019. It will include 15,000 square feet of galleries for collection installations and additional public and educational spaces. The museum is also developing a 110,000 square-foot offsite collection center for the care and study of the museum’s collection of more than 1 million works. Between 2017 and 2022, PEM will develop new collection installations museum-wide, based on innovative experience, interpretation and design strategies that reflect the museum’s commitment to drawing on multiple fields of inquiry, including neuroscience. Annually, the museum welcomes 250,000 people. It employs 250 staff and engages over 110 docent guides in support of PEM’s educational mission.

The largest collection of Australian Indigenous Art will touchdown in North America next year, on loan from National Gallery of Victoria to Washington DC’s National Gallery of Art. "Due to their rarity and cultural importance, many of these works rarely leave Australia, making this exhibition an especially rare opportunity for international visitors to experience these works up close," NGV Director Tony Ellwood AM tells Forbes Australia. From DC, the ‘Stars We Did Not See’ exhibition will go to the Denver Art Museum, Portland Art Museum, Peabody Essex Museum and Royal Ontario Museum

If you walk down Essex Street, you may notice a special display of our historic properties, all made out of Lego bricks! During his recent visit to Salem, artist Jeff Chapman (@jeff.moc) installed his miniature recreations of several of our historic houses, such as the John Ward House, Ropes Mansion and Quaker Meeting House. Visitors of all ages can enjoy spotting all the tiny details in the windows of 179 Essex Street. Thank you to Jeff for these incredible creations and to the folks at Creative Collective LLC for putting this on our radar!

Today, PEM was pleased to welcome the Andover, MA students who successfully petitioned for the exoneration of Elizabeth Johnson Jr. in 2022 for a special viewing of our new ongoing witch trials gallery, “The Salem Witch Trials 1692.” The visit was part of the filming for the documentary “The Last Witch,” which chronicles the efforts to clear Johnson’s name 330 years after the Salem Witch Trials. Learn more about “The Last Witch” at thelastwitchfilm.com or follow THE LAST WITCH and visit “The Salem Witch Trials 1692” to learn the story of this tragedy as told through the voices and possessions of those directly involved.

New work with Peabody Essex Museum! While we’re happy the algorithm is showing you this post right now, we think you’ll agree it has way too much control over what we’re all consuming these days. In this brand campaign, we put PEM’s purposefully curated, mind-activating experiences in direct opposition to the endless scroll.
