Spent tonight connecting with Creative Collective members over artwork and artifacts at Peabody Essex Museum (located in Salem, Massachusetts).
Scroll through to see some of my favorite objects.
The evening featured remarks and a curator-led tour to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the East India Marine Hall, which was built in 1825 and is the heart of the museum.
We experienced a new, layered, story-rich installation of the hall featuring several hundred objects along with an optional multimedia guide that offered a fascinating cross-section of PEM’s global collection and represented its earliest years of collecting.
This reimagined gallery is a must-see for museum lovers! The hall itself is a National Historic Landmark.
Thank you to for this incredible opportunity to preview this amazing installation.
And thank you to for always creating access to community enriching experiences.
My favorite, favorite piece? The whale jaw.
I learned that whale gums (yup, you read that right) typically deteriorate, so all you ever see at museums are the bones.
Turns out PEM is the only museum that has jaw bones preserved with the gums intact!
Whale go figure. 😂
