Offer four of those on your holiday gift list a tour of the Chinese house at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA--and enjoy the rest of the extraordinary exhibitions on view at this recently transformed museum. Yin Yu Tang, the only installation of its kind in the United States, is an unusually well preserved and finely crafted example of Anhui-style architecture from the Huizhou region of China. This traditional Chinese merchant's house is from the late Qing Dynasty. Built circa 1800--1825, Yin Yu Tang, with its furniture, decorative objects, and household items, provides a unique window onto two centuries of family life and cultural history in provincial China. A copy of the definitive book written about moving Yin Yu Tang from China to the United States by curator Nancy Berliner is included in this package.
