"An ideal introduction to the remarkable collections of the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM), America's oldest continuously operating and collecting museum. The museum's complex history is marked by a series of changes and reinventions dating back to its founding with the East India Marine Society in 1799. In recent decades, PEM has undergone one of the most remarkable transformations in American museum history. This beautifully designed and informative edition is the preeminent guide to PEM's world-class collection from its storied origins to recent contemporary acquisitions. It presents thoughtful overviews to each of PEM's curatorial departments-African, American, architecture and gardens, Asian export, Chinese, contemporary, European, fashion and textiles, Japanese, Korean, maritime, Native American, natural history, Oceanic, photography, and South Asian-as well as the renowned Phillips Library collection. Lavish color illustrations represent more than 400 significant artworks from each collection area and 14 highlight stories illuminate the people behind the international museum's varied, remarkable, and beloved objects"-- Provided by publisher.
