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from the Museum’s collections and archives, including audio and video, reference photographs and studies, interviews, historical documents, letters and artist’s statements.

Enter Edward Hopper’s World

Our exhibition, The Unknown Hopper: Edward Hopper as Illustrator, has been a big hit this summer, and we continue to offer a lively series of programs that explores the life and art of this realist master, and his little-known career as a commercial artist. On Saturday, September 20, starting at 5 p.m., join us for a lecture on Hopper House, the historic home in Nyack, New York, where Edward Hopper spent his formative years. The following week, Saturday, September 27, come aboard for a bus trip to Edward Hopper's boyhood home in the charming riverfront village of Nyack.

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.
