The largest and most significant public collection of original works by celebrated twentieth century illustrator, Norman Rockwell, the Norman Rockwell Museum exhibits a comprehensive array of paintings, drawings, studies, photographs, and artifacts that reflect the evolution of the artist’s life and career. Norman Rockwell’s Four Freedoms paintings (1943), iconic images inspired by Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s 1941 State of the Union Address; Girl at Mirror (1954), a poignant coming of age narrative; and Triple Self-Portrait (1960), his witty personal reflection, are among the Museum’s extensive holdings. In addition, rarely seen works from public and private collections are always on view.
