In conjunction with its current exhibition, "Roz Chast: Cartoon Memoirs," which also celebrates family, life’s humorous moments, and standing up to adversity, Norman Rockwell Museum will reinstall its main galleries to focus on these thematic elements, and offer an in-depth look at the artist’s process. "Norman Rockwell: Heroes, Humor, and Growing Up" will be on view at the Museum through October 18, 2015.

Visitors to Norman Rockwell Museum continue to be fascinated by Norman Rockwell's models. In addition to playing an integral part in the development of the Rockwell’s work, these individuals have also offered many fascinating anecdotes about the artist over the years. This Friday, September 4, 2:30 p.m. our Meet Rockwell’s Models program returns, and last week a very special visitor paid a visit to our United Nations exhibition to see her modeling efforts for the first time.
A special reception was held at the United Nations Headquarters on the evening of Monday, June 30, to celebrate the opening of "We The Peoples: Norman Rockwell's United Nations." The exhibition, organized by Norman Rockwell Museum, is on view at the UN's New York City Visitor Centre, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the peacekeeping organization. Speaking during the evening's opening remarks, United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon said that, "We are so honored to now host the original Golden Rule as well as the United Nations drawing for the entire summer of our 70th anniversary year."
This summer, Norman Rockwell Museum will honor the 70th anniversary of the United Nations with an unprecedented exhibition at the United Nations. "We The Peoples: Norman Rockwell's United Nations" will be on view from June 20 through September 15, 2015 at the United Nations Headquarters/Visitors Centre in New York City. The exhibition will feature Rockwell’s 1953 "United Nations" drawing, 1961's "Golden Rule" painting, and other works that reflect the artist’s personal beliefs in universal commonalities of mankind as a “citizen of the world.”
It is a beautiful week to visit Norman Rockwell Museum. The magnolias and other spring flowers are in full bloom on our 36-acre campus, and we have equally interesting sights and sounds in our galleries. This Saturday, May 9, starting at 5:30 p.m. "The Jazz Age" will be an evening of music by Dr. John Myers, a professor of music at Bard College at Simon's Rock, who performs regularly as a jazz and classical guitarist. Inspired by Leyendecker's art deco styled works, the jazz music performance is free for members or with regular Museum admission.
On view June 20 through September 15, 2015 at the United Nations Headquarters/Visitors Centre, New York City
