A few years ago, I wrote a piece in which I had interviewed the then brand-new director of the Hood Museum, John R. Stomberg, who had taken the helm just as the Hood was about to close for three years for extensive renovations. What’s a director to do without a museum? I asked him. His response: “The Hood can’t go dark.” And it didn’t. Among other initiatives, Stomberg opened Hood Downtown in a converted former jewelry store on Main Street in Hanover where he brought in rotating exhibitions of international contemporary artists and their work.
The Hood Can’t Go Dark. And So It Hasn’t.
The Hood Can’t Go Dark. And So It Hasn’t.
The Hood Can’t Go Dark. And So It Hasn’t.
