Who is YOUR “Original Sister?”

Make a piece of art that represents the woman you chose. Draw a picture, select a favorite photo of them, use objects to create a symbolic portrait, or be creative and come up with your own way to celebrate them. Send us your submission to be included in the exhibition by taking a photo of your completed artwork or image you would like to submit and email it to: learn@nrm.org or click the button below.

Land Acknowledgement

It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge that we are learning, speaking and gathering on the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people, who are the indigenous peoples of this land on which the Norman Rockwell Museum was built. Despite tremendous hardship in being forced from here, today their community resides in Wisconsin and is known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.
