CURRENT EXHIBITIONS
Organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum, Imagining Freedom is a virtual exhibition that explores the history and enduring legacy of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s concept of the Four Freedoms. The exhibition also highlights the important role played by Norman Rockwell and other American artists in communicating and advancing these universal values.
Imagining Freedom brings together over 400 artworks and objects organized into 8 thematic galleries. This exhibition is based on the exhibition Norman Rockwell: Imagining Freedom that traveled to six cities across the United States of America and France, before returning to the Norman Rockwell Museum. This virtual exhibition provides over 3x the amount of content than what was in the original exhibition. Viewers can explore layers of content drawn from the Museum’s collections and archives, including audio and video, reference photographs and studies, interviews, historical documents, letters and artist’s statements.
Experience the beautiful galleries of Norman Rockwell Museum in the comfort of your own home, on the road, or in the classroom!

Walt Reed (1917-2015)
Norman Rockwell Museum is saddened to learn of the passing of our friend Walt Reed (1917-2015). An artist, author, and art historian, Reed had a lifelong commitment to scholarship relating to the art of illustration. In June 2012, the Museum awarded the Illustration House founder with its first Distiguished Scholar Award in recognition of his many achievements.
Luck of the Draw
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Those interested in a preview of our new exhibition, "J.C. Leyendecker and The Saturday Evening Post" are in luck: you can now view examples of all "Post" covers the artist created for the magazine, including 1922's "Irish Liberty" (pictured here). The full exhibition, including original works created by the acclaimed illustrator and hero to Norman Rockwell, opens this Saturday, March 21, with a special opening talk and reception to be held from 4 to 6 p.m.
Land Acknowledgement
It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge that we are learning, speaking and gathering on the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people, who are the indigenous peoples of this land on which the Norman Rockwell Museum was built. Despite tremendous hardship in being forced from here, today their community resides in Wisconsin and is known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.
