A really must see attraction of one our most famous illustrators. A quiet tour thru all of Rockwells famous illustrations. Don't forget to check out his studio in the back, behind the museum.

I came to the Berkshires to stay at Kripalu, but had to stop here on my way home. I've always admired Rockwell's work especially the Saturday Evening Post covers, but I didn't realize how prolific he was and how carefully each illustration was rendered. The short movie about his life was interesting and not too long. The basement has gallery...

Small museum, but packed with art that captures America. Rockwell's studio also sits on the grounds allowing you to see where he worked on his classic images. Won't take too long to go through entire museum, even allowing for studying of images. Small terrace cafe carries salads,sandwiches and beverages if you're hungry. Sculpture is scattered throughout the grounds. A must...

$15/pp for about 60minutes worth of museum. The Four Freedoms are gorgeous and the Post covers on the lower level are cool, but that's about it.

Convenient off the thruway with some New England charm along the way. Very nice collection and worth the memories and seeing some new experiences too. One can spend an hour or half a day. Worth the stop.

It is a good museum for children as a lot of the illustrations are about children in everyday life. The studio was not open,...

love this place. small, but packed with interesting paintings and bits of history. just the right size to take in. my kids had a great time doing the audio tour.
First, you have to accept that Rockwell was an illustrator, not a painter - he himself admitted that. But, he was one of the very best. We had the pleasure of listening to a knowlegable docent at the beginning, which really set the stage. The audio tour provides most of the same, but without the immediacy and warmth.
They also...

I enjoy visiting this museum every time we visit the Berkshires. The artwork is incredible, especially when listening in on the docent giving a tour. (If you do, be sure to visit Rockwell's studio on the grounds and have the staff person there point out and explain some of the items in there!!!)
In the lower level there are are...
