NORMAN ROCKWELL MUSEUM
Magic, adventure come to life in Stockbridge This summer, myths, legends, fables, romance, and epic battles involving swords and sorcery will come to life in the galleries of the Norman Rockwell Museum. The battles of good versus evil, and heroes and villains will play out through paintings, etchings, drawings, and digital art created by artists from long ago to illustrators working today. The exhibit, “Enchanted: A History of Fantasy Illustration,” follows the exploits of Arthurian legends, Prince Valiant, Conan the Barbarian, and The Lord of the Rings.
