Title
Humphrey Murals
Description
According to the Hood Museum website, this mural was commissioned by the Board of Trustees in 1939 and they were on the walls of a dining room in Thayer Dining Hall (now the Class of 1953 Commons). In the 1970s, the murals were covered up and the dining room that hosted them closed. Since then, the murals have been moved off-site.
