BROWSER COMPATIBILITY

The Peabody Essex Museum Shop website is best viewed with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and above.

INTERNET EXPLORER SECURITY

Parts of our web site will not function correctly if you have selected the highest possible security settings within Internet Explorer because this mode disables Active Scripting.

In your Internet Explorer browser select “Internet Options" from the Tools menu.
Select the security tab at the top of the popup window that appears
Click and drag the sliding scale bar down from highest to medium
Click “OK.”
Complete your transaction.
Re-instate your former security settings once you are ready to exit the site by reversing steps 1 – 4.

PROBLEMS ACCESSING SECURE AREAS

Possible solutions include configuring Internet Explorer to Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) versions of 2.0 and 3.0, ciphering strength value in Internet Explorer, and clearing temporary Internet files, cookies, and history.

Changing settings on a computer that is connected to a network at any time can affect the entire network, so please contact your network administrator prior to attempting to implement any solutions. The Peabody Essex Museum Shop website will not be held liable for damage.
