Norman Rockwell Museum
Stockbridge, MA
The largest collection of Rockwell’s original paintings, and his studio moved to the grounds. Stockbridge’s Main Street, the scene of one of his paintings, is close by.
The Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, describes its holdings as the world's largest and most significant collection of work by the illustrator Norman Rockwell (1894 to 1978); its archives add more than 100,000 items. The paintings include “The Problem We All Live With” from 1963. Rockwell's last studio originally stood behind his home on South Street in Stockbridge, was moved to the museum grounds in 1986, and is arranged as it looked in October 1960.
The museum was founded in 1969 and for its first 24 years showed its collection in the Old Corner House on Stockbridge's Main Street. On April 3, 1993, it opened at its present site, a 36-acre (about 15 ha) campus above the Housatonic Valley, designed by Robert A. M. Stern.
