Origami Unfolded Opening Celebration

The Peabody Essex Museum marks the opening of its Origami Unfolded exhibition on Saturday, December 5, 2026, from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Origami artists give drop-in demonstrations from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 to 3 p.m., and artist Bernie Peyton gives a lecture titled Why Origami? at 1 p.m. Everything is included with museum admission.

Activities are split among the Main Atrium, the Create Space studios and Morse Auditorium at 161 Essex Street in Salem. The folding workshops, which range from beginner to intermediate, and the lecture require same-day preregistration at the museum, so arrive early to claim a spot.
