Reviews
The exhibits were amazing to look at. So many different things to learn and see. Different exhibits on different floors was great. Was stopping at the museum on my way through town. Employees were super helpful. The man working in the gift shop was super awesome in picking out gifts for family and friends. The Salem exhibit was interesting to learn about what happened many many years ago.
Wonderful museum. The Chinese house is incredible. I loved the eclectic collection of artwork and history and nature. My daughter loved the kids area and artwork as well. The cafe has good food. And the gift shop is one of the best museum shops I’ve ever been too. The parking garage next door has very cheap parking. $1.25 an hour.
I absolutely loved our visit and wished we could have spent all day there. The Chinese house was a place of wonder!!! I loved the art installments. I will definitely be coming back during off season in Salem to spend a lot more time there.
Beautiful museum with a wide range of art and periods. The special exhibits are always interesting and unique, but there's also the on going exhibits displaying some classical pieces of art. There's a story behind every piece of art and PEM makes a good job telling that story with the information plaques adjacent to each piece. It is also in the heart of Salem so you can make a day trip out of it by visiting the museum and then exploring Salem.
We went for the Salem Witch Trials exhibit. A lot to see and read. The museum is huge with plenty of space to walk around. Small coffee/snack bar inside also. Overall, my wife and I liked it and would go back.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15
Best thing in Salem. Daughter and I were disappointed in our visit to the city until we decided to visit this gem. So glad we did. We spent the entire afternoon here. Beautiful pieces. Friendly staff. The China house is amazing. Would visit again!
Very nice museum showcasing a variety of art/art form from around the world. Took a tour of the only authentic Chinese house brought over from China and reassembled here in the US. Really worth a visit. We plan to visit it again in the summer when all exhibits are open to visitors.
The oldest American museum, founded in 1799! It got expanded and renovated in September of 2019. Great exhibits on American art, Asian art, high fashion, Salem history. They even have a real antique and unique Chinese house inside requires a timed admission and additional tickets. There is a great interactive play area for kids. Food in the cafeteria is very good, too. Highly recommend for anyone! Always very enjoyable! We renewed the membership again because we want to come back again and again.
Best museum exhibitions all packed in, including a whole house from China, rebuilt in the courtyard. I was impressed and ran out of time. Allocate a full day in the area to enjoy everything.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$21–30
Kind of pricey $20/person but I would definitely suggest fitting the museum into your trip! Had plenty of artifacts and artwork to see. Make sure you have plenty of time to come here because we only had an hour and it wasn't near enough time. Will have to come back! To see tye Chinese house you have to buy tix ahead of time. They were sold out when we got there and we were pretty disappointed to not be able to see it.
