Recently renovated with a huge development cost, the Hood Museum is a fantastic array if modern and old art. With pieces of stone carried by camels through the desert to make there way to Dartmouth to 500 year old paintings a must see if your in the area. Admission is free of charge.

I wanted to visit an art museum while on my way home from vacation. it was just the right size to appreciate its remarkable displays without losing my husbands interest. (the exploded car engine or carburetor got his attention for a while) It has free admission too!

Renovation turned this place into a gem. They removed their previously dominating stodgy renaissance to a small couple rooms on the side and replaced it with an incredible contemporary art collection. Its a small museum you can absorb in just over an hour, but well worth the visit.

Wonderful, serene, well appointed and educational. We wandered around through the exhibits of art sculpture and paintings that took us through a journey through time and culture. Great way to spend a few minutes or a few hours.

I really liked this place. Most importantly, it is free. It has a varied collection of art ranging from native American to Medittaranian to Modern age. There are paintings by Picasso as well. Many paintings about New England to give you a glimpse into the history of this place. Anyone visiting the area must visit this. It is very clean and well maintained.

Lots to see but left me quite empty, expecting more for a newly opened renovation. The rooms seemed similar perhaps larger but same artifacts. Disappointed actually. Perhaps the darkness, the sultry depressive artifacts, the bizarreness of some, left me feeling the senslessnesss of including the newest pieces. They detract from the timeless, beautiful artwork that has been revered for centuries.

Wow! What a beautiful museum right here in our own wee backyard! Free! Im so glad to have found this for our family. Remember, this is a somewhat snake place than the Met. or MOMA, so dont expect huge, sprawling exhibits. Instead, take a few hours and youll have plenty of time to study each piece and never feel rushed.
