"Historic Interpretation" is a unique exhibition of new works inspired by historic artifacts from the collection of the Peabody
Historical Society. In this exhibit, over 100 artists from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire, and even
as far as Seattle, Washington, will give expressive form to history through very personal interpretations of historical objects
on display in the Society's Gideon Foster and Osborne-Salata Houses. The contemporary artwork will be exhibited alongside the historic artifacts that inspired the new works.
The
exhibit is free and will be open to the public the first and third Sunday from June - October from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m.
(June 7, 21, July 5, 19, August 2, 16, September 6, 20, October 4, 18). During opening weekends there are extended hours on Saturday, June 6 and Saturday, August
