History


The museum was founded in 1969 in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where Rockwell lived the last 25 years of his life.[1] Originally located on Main Street in a building known as the Old Corner House,[2] the museum moved to its current location 24 years later,[1] opening to the public on April 3, 1993.[3] The current museum building was designed by Robert A. M. Stern.[1]





Collection


In addition to 574 original works of art by Rockwell, the museum also houses the Norman Rockwell Archives, a collection of over 100,000 various items, which include photographs, fan mail, and various business documents. In 2014, the Famous Artists School donated its archives, including process drawings by Rockwell, one of its founding faculty members in 1948, to the museum.[4]
