On View
In honor of the Hood Museum’s 40th anniversary, we present New Directions: Connection and Curatorial Practice, an exhibition that demonstrates the values that shape our curatorial approach.
Inspired by theorist Guy Debord's 1967 book Society of the Spectacle, the exhibition Separation Perfected examines the paradox of our hyper-connected yet isolating world.
Inspired by flowers, North American artists working across time, cultural traditions, and artistic styles have embraced floral beauty in the natural world.
Revolution Reconsidered: History, Myth, and Propaganda explores how visual representations of the American Revolution became, and remain, potent carriers of national history and identity.
Animal, Vegetable, Mineral: Making Colors in Europe, 1400–1800 examines artistic production in the early modern period through the lens of its distinctive colors; recipes for pigments, dyes, and glazes were often closely guarded secrets and critical to the value of a work of art.
How did common materials—stone, sand, and clay—serve as the foundations for artmaking in the ancient world? In this exhibition, objects that have never been on view in the Hood Museum’s galleries join familiar favorites in an exploration of the museum’s deep collection of ancient Mediterranean art.
