  • Peabody-Essex Museum 161 Essex Street Salem, MA, 01970 United States (map)

With a docent-led tour, immerse yourself in a world of engineering and social sophistication that no longer exists—the age of the transatlantic ocean voyage. "Ocean Liners: Glamour, Speed and Style," co-organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, features more than 200 paintings, photographs, posters, models, etc. from the mid 19th through the mid 20th century.
