 Wilson Hall is a Romanesque- revival building constructed in 1884 originally to serve as the College's library. Wilson now houses the Film & Television Studies Department, the Hopkins Center administrative offices, and the Dartmouth Film Society.
The Dartmouth Film Society, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1999, sponsors a film series every term. For $12, students can purchase a pass to see two movies a week, centered on a unifying theme. Individual film notes are written by undergraduates. Additionally, each term the Film Society sponsors special films and speakers of interest to the film community.
The Hood Museum of Art is a teaching art museum that has been called one of the best college museums in the country. It was designed by the late Charles Moore, considered to be one of the most significant twentieth century American architects. It is considered to be a prime example of post-modern architecture. There are over 60,000 items in the collection, of which only a very small fraction are on display at a given time.
The collection is particularly strong in African art, Native American art, nineteenth and twentieth-century American painting, contemporary art, and is highlighted by a set of Assyrian reliefs. It also contains a collection of 2500 works on paper, including a world-class collection of Rembrandt prints. The museum also has a rotating exhibit every term, including teaching exhibitions that are organized by members of the faculty.
To the right of the Hood Museum is the Hopkins Center.
