If ever you find yourself in western Massachusetts or if you
ever want to treat yourself to the most extensive collection of Norman Rockwell’s work in the
world, then the Norman Rockwell Museum is your destination.
Whether
you are a fan or not his work is undeniably etched into the American culture
forever. The museum is a fitting tribute to this famed artist and houses not
only his classic paintings but additionally his lesser known ones as well.
Large
scale pieces are blended with sketches and studies in pencil, charcoal and
watercolor. Additionally personal memorabilia is on display including supplies and
reference materials. The highlight for many is the Rockwell’s studio, which gives a wonderful insight into the man
and how he created.
The museum caters to every individual
taste by offering many programs and special events, including workshops,
lectures and gallery tours. Families can join in on
hands-on art programs and kid friendly tours. The Museum is located on a scenic
plot of land with beautiful gardens and great views. The town of Stockbridge
(which Rockwell made famous) is located near by allowing museum visitors to
grab a bite to eat and enjoy some adorable shops.
