In addition to ongoing displays from its permanent collection, the museum also presents approximately eight special exhibitions each year covering a broad range of topics and two teaching exhibitions each academic term. Organized in conjunction with Dartmouth College courses, these exhibitions are intended to facilitate the curricular use of the museums collections .

A reception hosted by the Friends of Hopkins Center and Hood Museum of Art will follow in Kim Gallery. For children ages 8 and older.
