The Hood Museum of Art's ambitious publishing program ranges from book-length studies of collection areas and Hood traveling exhibitions to numerous brochures and gallery guides, including our special A Space for Dialogue: Fresh Perspectives on the Permanent Collections from Dartmouth's Students series, now numbering over one hundred brochures. Our publications reflect the thriving scholarly community that intersects with the Hood collections on an ongoing basis, comprised of the curatorial staff, Dartmouth faculty and students, and colleagues and researchers from other institutions.
