HANOVER, NH.- The Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College presents From Discovery to Dartmouth: The Assyrian Reliefs at the Hood Museum of Art, 1856 – 2006, on view through March 11, 2007 at the Gutman Gallery. This year marks the passage of a century and a half since the arrival at Dartmouth College of one of its most prized possessions in the realm of art and culture: the Assyrian reliefs, currently on display in the Kim Gallery of the Hood. Originally part of the decorative scheme of the so-called Northwest Palace of King Ashurnasirpal II (883-859 BCE) in Nimrud, Iraq, these six large-scale reliefs depict a ritual performance undertaken by the king among both human and supernatural beings. A special installation about the reliefs and other ancient Near Eastern works from the collection will be on view in the Hood and will include special interactive three-dimensional computer reconstructions by Learning Sites, Inc., presenting the reliefs in their original contexts. A scholarly symposium on the topic will be presented to the public on November 3 and 4, 2006.

This exhibition was organized by the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College, and was generously funded by the Bernard R. Siskind 1955 Fund and the Cissy Patterson Fund. It is accompanied by a symposium co-organized by the Department of Art History and the Hood Museum of Art and sponsored by the Fannie and Alan Leslie Center for the Humanities at Dartmouth College, the Hood Museum of Art, and the Departments of Art History, Anthropology, Religion, and Jewish Studies.
