Norman Rockwell Studio - Stockbridge

Norman Rockwell's studio is located at Glendale Road, on the grounds of the Norman Rockwell Museum, in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.  The famed artist moved to Stockbridge in the fall of 1953 and purchased a home on Main Street, where he set up his new studio.  In August of 1957 he moved around the corner to South Street, where he purchsed an 18th century home, complete with carriage house.  He converted the old carriage house into this studio, which included his main work room, a bathroom, and a darkroom.  He would later enlarge the windows and add on a storage room.  He was quoted as saying this was his "best studio yet."  In 1976 Rockwell decided to leave the studio to the Norman Rockwell Museum, which was founded in 1969 and operated out of the Old Corner House on Main Street.  In 1986 the studio was cut in half and moved from its location behind Rockwell's home on South Street to its present location about a mile west of downtown Stockbridge, overlooking the Housatonic River.  The museum moved from Main Street to the Glendale Road location in 1993.  Today the museum houses the world's largest collection of Rockwell's art, nearly 1000 pieces.  Visitors can walk through the studio, which is located on the grounds, behind the museum.
