Yin Yu Tang: A Living House provides a fascinating, in-depth look at Chinese domestic culture, architecture, artistry, and history, as well as their impact on individual lives, through a detailed exploration of this house--which has been moved and rebuilt at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. Founded in 1799, the Peabody Essex Museum is the country's oldest continually operating museum. The New York Times has called it "a cross-cultural marvel". Yin Yu Tang will be a permanent installation at the Museum, and it will play an important part Museum programs and promotions.
