The Peabody Essex Museum in central Salem grew out of the East India Marine Society, founded in 1799 by Salem sea captains to show objects brought home from their voyages. It joins the collections of the Peabody Museum of Salem and the Essex Institute, with maritime, American, Asian, Oceanic and African art, and owns 22 historic buildings.
The Salem Witch Museum tells the history of the Salem witch trials of 1692, in which 19 people were hanged. Opened in 1972, it occupies the former East Church, a Gothic Revival building of 1844–1846 facing Salem Common. A narrated presentation with thirteen life-size stage sets follows the trials, and a second exhibit traces how the image of the witch changed.
