SUMMARY:Event: The Mysteries of Anna Eva Fay
DESCRIPTION:Know before you go\nIn-person event\nLocation: Morse Auditorium \nIncluded with admission \nThis event includes loud\, sudden noises. \nJoin Jennifer and Gene Yee of Yee Magik to unveil the life and secrets of spiritualist and magician Anna Eva Fay! \nBorn in 1851\, Fay toured internationally as a medium and mentalist and became a household name during the late 19th and early 20th century. Together with her second husband David Pingree\, she also became a highly successful philanthropist\, collector and entrepreneur\, owning multiple quarries and a steamship line. The Fay-Pingree home in Melrose\, Massachusetts\, Heathman Manor\, was visited by Fay’s notable friends such as Harry Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. \nFay’s great-grandniece Jennifer Yee and Jennifer’s husband Gene will present an interactive lecture on Fay\, who is still revered today. Follow the Yees’ decades-long search for lost history and genealogy as they tell how they came to reside at Heathman Manor and carry on Fay’s legacy. Besides broadsides\, lithographs and ephemera from Fay’s performances\, including one of her earliest-known public photos\, audience members might catch a glimpse of a levitating object or a galvanometer with which scientists attempted to divine Fay’s secrets! The performance will also offer a rare peek behind the scenes at spirit cabinets and their roles in art and performance. After a short Q & A\, be prepared to witness a rare performance of the cabinet — don’t blink\, or you’ll miss something! \nThe Yees will be available for a meet-and-greet in Morse Alcove after the performance.

SUMMARY:Event: No Ship Sets Out To Be A Shipwreck
DESCRIPTION:Know before you go\nIn-person event\nLocation: Morse Auditorium \nIncluded with admission \nContent warnings: Suicide; illness and death of a parent. \nJoin us for an exciting PEM Reads event with author Joan Wickersham\, in conversation about her new book of poetry No Ship Sets Out To Be A Shipwreck. \nThis event will include a 90-minute discussion with the author\, followed by a book signing. Copies are available at the PEM Shop. \nAbout the Book \n“No Ship Sets Out To Be A Shipwreck is a poetic and philosophical meditation ignited by a beautiful\, frightening\, mysterious object: the 17th-century Swedish warship Vasa\, which sank only minutes into its maiden voyage and lay forgotten underwater until it was found and raised more than three hundred years later. \nBeginning with Joan Wickersham’s first sight of the ship in its Stockholm museum\, her pieces – intimate\, irreverent\, urgent – weave together the Vasa’s story and the associations it evokes. She addresses the shipbuilders\, the divers and restorers\, the men and women who drowned in the wreck\, and the objects they left behind: shoes and cooking pots\, game boards and bones. She interrogates…the ship itself — an emblem of death and rebirth\, a monumental failure whose flaws made it an enduring success\, a vessel both destroyed and preserved by catastrophe.” \nPEM Reads celebrates the art of literature and the creative act of writing through a year-round series of collaborative book club readings and author events\, both in person and online. By gathering to read and discuss world-class literature and meet authors\, PEM Reads seeks to deepen our sense of community and celebrate great storytelling. We hope you’ll join us!

SUMMARY:Event: The Salem Witch Trials 1692: After-Hours Tour
DESCRIPTION:Know before you go\nIn person event\nLocation: Witch Trials gallery \nMembers and Salem residents $20; nonmembers $50 \nAll other museum galleries will be closed during the tour. \nJoin us after hours for a special curator-led tour of The Salem Witch Trials 1692. Explore the extraordinary series of events between June 1692 and March 1693 that led to the deaths of 25 innocent women\, men and children who were wrongfully convicted of crimes. More than 300 years later\, the personal tragedies and grievous wrongs that occurred still provoke us to reflect and reckon with the experiences of those involved. \nThis ongoing installation tells this story through tangible fragments directly tied to people in Salem and nearby communities in the late 17th century. A handwritten petition\, a carved loom\, a walking stick — each illuminates an aspect of individuals who lived through Salem’s witch trials and serves as a reminder of the real people impacted by these harrowing events. Don’t miss this chance to ask the exhibition curators your questions!
