As much as we at Art Zealous love the hustle and bustle of New York City, sometimes a little weekend getaway is just what we need. Luckily, less than three hours above the City sits the quaint Massachusetts town of Stockbridge. There, coffee shops, bed and breakfasts and hometown kindnesses are aplenty. In fact, the town was the muse for the Americana reputation of none other than Norman Rockwell, who used Stockbridge\u2019s streets and townspeople as his inspiration throughout the 25 years he lived in the town.<\/p>\n

Of course \u201cAmericana\u201d is not all that Rockwell represented: for us art lovers who can\u2019t last long without our art fix, the Norman Rockwell Museum<\/a> holds a wealth of inspiration itself. Its mission includes the preservation of illustration, a practice that isn\u2019t always as regarded as a form of fine art as it should be. The Museum, which holds the largest and most significant collection of Rockwell\u2019s work in the world, displays an array of his works, as well as the works of other artists.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you\u2019re heading there this summer (and really, why wouldn\u2019t you be?), here\u2019s what you have in store:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
