I went to visit some friends in the town and decided to go to the museum Saturday morning. They opened at 10:00 am. The entrance was free and open to the public. There are lockers where you can put your belongings and walk freely around....Read More

Excellent exhibits that are free to explore. I spent about an hour there today and plan to go back to see more of the artwork soon. Highly recommend the Louise Hamlin exhibit on the second floor. Her forest paintings and scenes from Long Wind Farm...Read More

Our high school group was greeted by 3 well prepared tour guides. I appreciate the initial recognition that Dartmouth and the museum reside on unceded Abinaki land. This really allowed out students to find a level of necessary reverance for the experience. Thank you, Mary!

Art from different eras and continents. A good representation of indigenous art and artists with written explanations of why they create the way they do. The collection descriptions often included questions that engage the viewer instead of just a factual description of the piece....Read More

Free admission, excellent collection of art on display here. Enjoyed going for a stroll with my wife and a newborn baby. Peaceful and not crowded.

Excellent collection with thought-provoking curation. Some hidden treasures complement historically underrated artists. And, it's free!

Smallish free college art museum in high ceiling rooms on two floors. The art that was on exhibition contained selections from most periods of art history but concentrated on contemporary art. There were no works from artists whose name you would recognize but you should...Read More

Wonderful museum with very wonderful updated approaches to presenting works of other cultures with greater context than has traditionally been museum practice.

I love this museum. It’s spacious and has a wide variety in the collection from Egyptian artifacts to Rothko. My toddler has joined me a few times and recently paid more attention to the activity guide and colored pencils than the Monet paintings, haha. ...Read More

Beautiful museum, inside and out, with fantastically curated exhibits. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Very clean with ample seating areas. The student intern exhibit was nicely done. Ancient artifacts, paintings, sculptures and more. Parking can be an issue, it is a hoppin college town, but worth trip.

Beautiful new space! Wonderful items on show with interesting and thought-provoking blurbs. I was particularly interested in the conversation around provenance. My parents needed wheelchairs, which were quickly provided.

The Hood is a beautifully curated Museum. The Cara Romero exhibit is a moving presentation that reflects the vision of a talented Photographer who captures the essence of what she sees. The other collections are a harmonious mix that flow through the rooms which makes the visit enjoyable.

This is from an Assyrian place. It turns out this was in color! The Hood has a wonderful permanent collection - and you never know what the latest new things will be, sometimes local and sometimes from away and very interesting! Admission is free.
