Guided Tour and Lunch: Normal Rockwell Exhibition at New Britain Museum

Friday, January 23rd from 12:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. (plus transportation time)
Spend a day visiting CT’s New Britain Museum of American Art, the first museum of strictly American art in the country, the collection spans four centuries of American history, and is renowned for its colonial portraiture, the Hudson River School, American Impressionism, and the Ash Can School. The museum contains more than 8,400 paintings, works on paper, sculptures, videos and photographs.
In addition to highlights of the permanent collection, we will tour Norman Rockwell: From Camera to Canvas, exploring how one of America’s most beloved artists used photography as a creative tool.
For more than forty years, photographs were the foundation of Rockwell’s art. Featuring over 150 photographs, tear sheets, paintings, and drawings spanning Rockwell’s prolific career, the exhibition reveals how he choreographed each element—character, expression, setting, and detail—to create the photographic images that became the templates for his iconic paintings.
We will enjoy a group lunch in the cafe following the tour. $65 members / $80 non-members (lunch is included).
