We’re once again heading up to the Peabody Essex Museum, traveling by the fast ferry to Salem, for a private tour of Empresses of China’s Forbidden City, the first exhibition to explore the role of empresses in shaping China’s last dynasty, the Qing dynasty, from 1644 to 1912. Nearly 200 spectacular objects from the Palace Museum tell the little-known stories of how imperial women influenced court politics, art and religion. The exhibit coincides with the 40th anniversary of the establishment of U.S.-China diplomatic relations. Lunch at Turner’s Seafood (or elsewhere on your own). Return on the 4 p.m. ferry. Meet at Long Wharf-North Pier, on the north side of the Long Wharf Marriott, next to Christopher Columbus Park, at 9 a.m. for our 9:30 a.m. ferry. BHV members: $40 ($25 for PEM members). Guests of BHV members and prospective members: $55 ($35 for PEM members). Trip price covers ferry and admission to and tour of the Museum.
