Cape Ann Museum
Peabody Essex Museum
I usually reach the North Shore by car, vibrating seriously from the mad traffic as I alight at my destination. But, to confirm me in my bad habit, offering relief to one addicted to 20th century personal mobility, are two exhibits (two!) each of which are highly original and offer a sense of history and insight which can be a blessed cocoon to the self-harassed.
The Cape Ann Historical Museum has, over time, blossomed into a house of many mansions, offering not only the serene anchor of that magisterial painter Fitz Henry Lane, but more and more of the highly noteworthy painters who followed Lane to see what was up at this doorstep on the sea and the weather.
I went to see Lane and was immediately calmed and revived. Revived enough to venture up to the special exhibitions space at the top floor to view “Chapters on a Quarry Wall.”
