Pepe Mar: Dream House
Thrift store aesthetics. An alter ego named Paprika. The hybridity of identity. It all comes together in Pepe Mar: Dream House. Opening with an exhibition celebration event the evening of October 1, 2026, the exhibition features more than 20 of Mar’s collages and assemblages in conversation with works from the Currier collection, inviting visitors into a fantastical world of color, texture, and great emotional resonance. The New England premier of Miami-based artist Pepe Mar, Dream House is more than an exhibition: it’s a phantasmagorical journey through influences and traditions.

How to Build a Usonian Automatic

Step into the Welcome Gallery for a new installation about Frank Lloyd Wright's vision for a new kind of home for a changing world: the Usonian Automatic. The Kalil House at the Currier is one of just seven Usonian Automatics ever built and the only one open to the public. Archival materials, rare architectural drawings, and 3-D blocks tell the story of Wright's innovations with modular construction and the legacy of his experimentation on the way we build homes today.
