September 30, 2017–January 7, 2018
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864–1901), La Troupe de Mademoiselle Églantine (Mademoiselle Églantine’s Troupe), 1896, Lithograph, sheet: 24 1/4 x 31 1/4 in. (61.6 x 79.4 cm), The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Gift of Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, 1940, Photograph: Thomas Griesel.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s instantly recognizable posters are fixtures on the walls of millions of homes worldwide. Although the original works of art are more than 100 years old, their continued prevalence is a reminder of the influence he continues to have on art, and especially graphic design. Lautrec’s often colorful lithographs reveal the enduring beauty of Paris. They also feature the city’s more shadowy figures, whose lives the artist celebrated through his art. Drawn from the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, the Currier’s exclusive New England presentation will present more than 100 posters, prints and illustrated books.
There is a $5 special exhibition fee to view The Paris of Toulouse-Lautrec: Prints and Posters From The Museum of Modern Art in addition to the general admission.
This exhibition is organized by the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The exhibition is organized by Sarah Suzuki, Curator, Department of Drawings and Prints, The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

artist in residence
Our Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program invites artists to live and work at the museum. While in residence, artists consider the collection and community, and refresh our perspectives on the role of the museum. The program is central to the Currier Museum’s mission of connecting our audiences with art and creative thinking, whether of the past or the future. We hope to learn from our visiting artists – and be surprised by their perspectives.
Artists working in all media participate in the AIR program, which has three main components: 1) an open call to support emerging artists making socially engaged art; 2) an invitational through which artists are selected to develop special projects, commissions, or exhibitions; and 3) artist-led, community-centered public art projects in the city of Nashua, NH.
Open Call for Artist in Residence Applications
Our annual open call is currently live from October 1 – December 1, 2022. Artists who share the museum’s goal of positively impacting communities through the transformative power of art are encouraged to apply to this residency.
