Led by Curator of European Art Bart Thurber, participants learned about print media history, terminology, and techniques through the comparison of original works of art by Rembrandt, Dürer, Piranesi, Picasso, and other master printmakers. The Hood Museum of Art's winter members' course gave participants a unique, behind-the-scenes understanding of European prints and about the future direction of print acquisitions at the Hood.

What decisions does a curator at an academic museum make when acquiring works of art? How do the art collections at the Hood contribute to the curriculum at Dartmouth College? The sixteen motivated students in the Hood Museum of Art's Museum Collecting 101 class explored these questions and others for several weeks. In the end, the participants had the rare opportunity to select a work of art for purchase by the Hood - one that will remain in the permanent collection to help the Hood fulfill its purpose as a teaching museum.
