PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM SHOP
Dear
friends,
As we head into the holiday season, I wish you and your loved ones comfort and joy. Whether through family traditions, gatherings or quiet reflection, we hope you embrace the magic of winter in New England.
You may know the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) for its awardwinning exhibitions and programs, but did you know the PEM Shop channels that same spirit of creativity and innovation? From thematic pop-up shops, to author signings and artist collaborations — and this holiday catalog — we are always finding new ways to surprise and delight.
All proceeds from the PEM Shop support our mission to offer enriching experiences of the arts, humanities and sciences. All items have been thoughtfully hand selected to make your holiday season one to remember.
In gratitude,
Lynda Roscoe Hartigan

ON THE COVER

Behind the Scenes
While searching for the ideal location for the catalog cover shoot, the grand hallway of the James B. and Mary Lou Hawkes Collection Center captured our attention. This is where we preserve and access PEM’s library and museum collection. A space filled to the rafters with so much creativity and inspiration seemed like a fitting backdrop for our holiday catalog.
