Peabody Essex's New Gallery | Salem

Re: Peabody Essex's New Gallery

Hmmm. Reminds me a lot of Lesley U's new arts center in Porter.
 
Schwartz Silver is a great choice here for designer. They will do a great job. I am a big fan of their work. Take some time and look at their website.

Also, no mention of what PEM plans for the recently acquired marine art gallery site abutting the museum to the east.

From The Salem News:

Plans for the museum restaurant, which occupies part of the garden in the summer months plus an adjacent indoor space, are incomplete. One idea is to move the restaurant to the former Marine Arts Gallery, which the museum purchased last December. Monroe said that would have the advantage of allowing the restaurant to stay open outside of museum hours.

Peabody Essex breaks ground on new galleries.

Not discussed is the location of the off-site new collections storage building. Also not discussed is what the museums's intentions are for the site of the former, privately-owned Marine Arts Gallery, located next to the museum's front entrance. And nary a syllable about the van Otterloo's much coveted collection of Dutch paintings from the Golden Age. These new galleries ($50 million) and the storage facility, and infrastructure improvements do not consume the $300 million budgeted budgeted for new and renovated facilities.

Yes, today's news is that the van Otterloo collection is headed for the MFA!
 
I think that when the PEM downsized the amount of new gallery space that was the handwriting on the wall with respect to this collection. From the Globe article, both the PEM and Yale are given preferred status in using the new MFA collection for their own shows.
 
The museum's tribute to the workers who built the new wing. A lot of union labor.
