New gallery space now shows 60% more paintings, sculpture, fine art prints and decorative arts, plus works by Monet, Tiepolo, Matisse, Picasso and White Mountain Artists. Manchester, New Hampshire’s Currier Museum of Art shows off its treasures in 33,000 square feet of new exhibit space.
Many of the works now shown have emerged from hiding for the first time since the museum acquired them. After years of planning, the $21.4-million additions to the 1926 building opened on March 30, 2008. The museum has long been known for the breadth and depth of its collections, which number more than 11,000 items, but never had enough space to show more than the highlights. The newly enlarged building's 33,000 square feet of new exhibit space has solved part of that problem. The expanded gallery space also allows the Currier to host large touring exhibits for the first time.
he Currier is located at 150 Ash Street, Manchester, NH, (603) 669-6144, www.currier.org. It is open Sunday, Monday and Wednesday through Friday 11 am to 5 pm, Saturday 10 am to 5 pm, and the first Thursday of each month from 11 am to 8 pm.
