The Peabody Essex Museum has dismantled an eighteenth-century Chinese merchant's house and rebuilt it in Salem, MA. The museum has created a fascinating exhibit that displays everyday rural Chinese family life from 200 years ago until the present. We will take a guided tour of the house discussing its historical and cultural significance.
