Currier Museum of Art

Collection: The Currier Museum of Art collects, preserves, researches, and makes accessible significant works of art. The 14,000 objects in the collection, including two houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and a recently acquired historic 19th century home, form the basis of the museum's educational and social programs. The museum maintains state-of-the-art storage facilities and preserves objects under its care. It makes the collection fully accessible through the web, programs, publications, and social media.

Exhibitions. The museum normally presents six to seven special exhibitions each year, although this schedule was reduced in FY 2021 because of the pandemic. The museum created exhibitions from its permanent collection and in collaboration with New Hampshire artists to respond to issues of equity. A full range of educational and community programs are presented for each exhibition.

Education and community programs. The museum creates innovative programs for a wide variety of audiences. Along with intensive online programming, these include school tours, guided visits, lectures, performances, and large-scale community events. Special programs serve the community, including families impacted by opioid abuse, Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers, military veterans, immigrants, cancer patients and their caregivers, and those affected by disabilities. Studio-based classes for children and adults are run live and online. The museum has an Artist in Residence program that supports international contemporary artists who work onsite and in our community at-large.

Ancillary services: In addition to the galleries, the museum facilities include classrooms, a 180-seat auditorium, a cafe, a shop, and other spaces.
