E-Scrapbooking Inspired by Norman Rockwell Paintings

Exhibit Overview

Please Note: This exhibit will only be at the museum
from June 18, 2005 - January. 16, 2006.

Perhaps Rockwell's best-known artworks were the covers he illustrated for The Saturday Evening Post. And now Rockwell's America: Celebrating the Art of Norman Rockwell brings these magazine covers to life in 20 charming, recreated scenes. While in the exhibit be sure to:
  • visit his Stockbridge, Mass. studio, recreated to the last detail
  • try on costumes and pose with props just like the models
  • peek into Doctor Dowd's Office to see the kindly doctor tending a little girl's dolly
  • stroll past the barbershop, where a quartet will periodically perform old-fashioned tunes.
  • climb into a Model T Ford
  • stop at the appliance store to catch an "I Love Lucy" rerun
  • eavesdrop on the party line
  • peek into the desks and recite a lesson from the chalkboard in the one-room schoolhouse
Rockwell painted 322 covers for The Saturday Evening Post. Many of these covers are displayed in the exhibit's final section as a poignant reminder of the artist's talent.
