(AP) — Female artists who captured the sweeping vistas of New Hampshire's White Mountains will get some long overdue recognition when their paintings are displayed in a museum now under construction at Plymouth State University. The Museum of the White Mountains, scheduled to open in February with galleries, classrooms and state-of-the-art storage, is designed to create a central place for the study of the region's art, culture and heritage. The paintings are similar stylistically to those produced by the more well-known male artists of the mid-19th century "White Mountain School" of painting, but the women often were overlooked, said Catherine Amidon, the museum's director.
