SALEM — The Peabody Essex Museum has recommitted to a three-year renewable energy agreement that matches 100% of the museum’s annual electricity use across its entire 23-building campus with renewable energy credits.
And this Saturday, July 26, PEM will open a new climate-focused exhibition, titled “Knowing Nature: Stories of the Boreal Forest.” The exhibit, available in English and Spanish, will be on view until Sept. 27 of next year, and spotlights the boreal forest and its ecosystem’s vital importance to the health of the planet.
