Founded in 1799, the Peabody Essex Museum is considered one of the oldest continuously operating museums in the United States. The museum was moved from the founding society's location into a separate building in 1852, which was later enlarged by Moshe Safdie in 2003. Since its founding, the Peabody Essex Museum has collected artifacts from Asia, including China and Japan.
