Safe Visit with Timed Tickets
My husband, adult son and I visited the Norman Rockwell Museum this week. We bought timed entry tickets online in advance of our visit (highly recommended due to limited attendees allowed due to Covid restrictions). The Museum docents were extremely helpful throughout our visit. They also monitored the # of visitors in the rooms to make sure capacity limits were observed. Masks are required throughout the visit. This is the first Museum we have gone to since Covid restrictions began in March. We felt very safe. Downstairs where you begin your self-guided tour, is a short film about Norman Rockwell's life. I recommend watching this first. If you are a fan of Rockwell's many illustrations over his long career, you will love this Museum. Allow 1-1/2 to 2 hours for your visit so you will not be rushed. As a side note, Stockbridge is a very pretty town. We saw at least 2 outside dining options on and near Main Street. There are more outside dining options in the town of Lenox, about 7 miles / 20 minutes away.

Love Me Some Rockwell !
Great museum to spend a couple of hours in. There is a tour of his actual art studio for an additional $5; worth it we thought. The museum itself is marvelous. There is a film and all of Mr. Rockwell's art. There's a gift shop and a cafe, and also children's easels outside! A great way to spend a morning [opens at 10:00] or an afternoon. There are exhibits of other well-known artist also, and those change about three times a year. Those are wonderful too.
