SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS

ART. MEET. SHOP. EAT.
ALL WITHIN STEPS

Still Making History

That’s our tagline, but it’s so much more. Our endless history is part of what makes Salem come to life, as our fascinating past determines where we’ll go next. Our shops, festivities, museums, tours, and even restaurants are all influenced in some small way by the events and changes the city has gone through over the centuries. Salem isn’t just a place. It’s witches, and ocean ships, making waves through literature, settlers, pirates and trading.

Visit Salem’s Punto Urban Art Museum

In 2017, North Shore Community Development Coalition (CDC) founded the Punto Urban Art Museum (PUAM), an expansive open-air art museum with 75 large-scale murals by global and New England-based artists. One of the many art museums throughout Salem, PUAM is known for taking influence from the community and starting conversations. As you plan your visit, be sure to include a walk through PUAM, including its new exhibit, Casa De Abuela, which is a replica of a typical Dominican country house that offers cultural insights and pop-up experiences.
