Norman Rockwell Museum

Story

Norman Rockwell Museum is the preeminent museum of American illustration art. Dedicated to art education and art appreciation inspired by the enduring legacy of Norman Rockwell, the Museum stewards the world’s largest and most significant collection of Rockwell art, and presents the works of contemporary and past masters of illustration. The Museum’s holdings include Rockwell's last studio, moved from its original location to the Museum grounds, and the Norman Rockwell Archives, a 200,000-object collection undergoing digital preservation through ProjectNORMAN, “A Save America’s Treasures Project.” The Museum is also home to the new Rockwell Center for American Visual Studies, the nation’s first research institute devoted to the art of illustration. In 2008, Norman Rockwell Museum became the first-ever museum recipient of the National Humanities Medal, America’s highest honor in the field.

Cool museum where they moved Rockwell's studio with some of the most picturesque views and walks in the area. The staff was helpful and very knowledgeable. The coolest thing was that one of Rockwell's models happened to show up the day I was there and was willing to answer questions of other guests and the staff. Wonderful insight in site to one artist's process.

All I can say is wow! We had a great afternoon here. Amazing museum! Audio tour using your own phone is a must (bring a pair of headphones!) It is art that you could look at for hours and hours.

Go for the art inside and the views outside. Beautiful new building hosts an impressive collection. Friendly staff and great place to spend an hour or two. Don't miss a walk around the building and art studio. Perfect place to view foliage and mountains.

Its a beautiful spot with a terrific collection. I really went to this museum to keep my wife company, but I have to admit that I got a lot more out of it than I expected. The staff were very friendly, the museum is in great shape. Its very well curated with relevant and representative pieces that demonstrate Mr. Rockwell's impact and context. I would come back in a heartbeat.
