I have been here several times starting in the 1980's when the museum was house in downtown Stockbridge. It really is a wonderful experience, but this particular visit, several of my favorite works were not displayed, which was a little disappointing. they did have every cover of the Saturday Evening Post displayed downstairs which was a treat. If you are... More

While on vacation in Massachusetts, we did some exploring and found the home and small museum of Norman Rockwell in Stockbridge. While the museum is smallish, the fun is huge! To see so many Rockwell originals that we remember from Saturday Evening Post was awesome. The video shared Rockwell's personal life which was sad in many ways. The laughs and... More

This small museum was well organized and also hosted a fine special exhibit on another famous illustrator/artist when we were visiting. The tour guide was informative, as was the short film. The setting is beautiful, and includes Rockwell's studio, moved there from Stockbridge. More

What a great little museum tucked away in Stockbridge. The collection was fabulous, the curator/guide was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating and the 12 minute video (located on the lower level is a must). The lower level houses all of Norman Rockwell's Saturday Evening Post covers from 1919-1963. I was amazed at the rich history and deep passion he had for... More

I guess I didn't realize how big of an artist Norman Rockwell was. He really was a talented man who did some great work. I loved all his original works of art that are on display and ALL of the Saturday Evening Post covers that he did. It is quite an impressive collection and it's really interesting to see his... More

Lovely little museum, just outside Stockbridge, with a huge collection of Norman Rockwell’s works. Don’t miss the very informative talks – they point out lots of details you never noticed even if you know the pictures well and let you in on lots of little secrets. The gift shop is great too – it has lots of nice things to... More
