The museum was founded in 1969 in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where Rockwell lived the last 25 years of his life. Originally located on Main Street in a building known as the Old Corner House, the museum moved to its current location 24 years later, opening to the public on April 3, 1993. The current museum building was designed by 2011 Driheaus Prize winner and New Classical architect Robert A. M. Stern.

In addition to 574 original works of art by Rockwell, the museum also houses the Norman Rockwell Archives, a collection of more than 100,000 items, including photographs, fan mail, and various business documents. In 2014, the Famous Artists School donated its archives, including process drawings by Rockwell, who was one of its founding faculty members (in 1948), to the museum. • Illustration — No Swimming by Rockwell (1921) Works by Rockwell at the museum include: • Boy with Baby Carriage, 1916 • No Swimming, 1921 • Girl Reading the Post (1941) – In 1943, Rockwell gifted this painting to Walt Disney whose daughter, Diane Disney Miller, gifted it to The Norman Rockwell Museum at Stockbridge in 2000 • Four Freedoms, 1943 • Freedom of Speech • Freedom of Worship • Freedom from Want • Freedom from Fear • Going and Coming, 1947 • Christmas Homecoming, 1948 • Day in the Life of a Little Girl, 1952 • Girl at Mirror, 1954 • Art Critic, 1955 • Marriage License, 1955 • The Runaway, 1958 • Family Tree, 1959 • The Problem We All Live With, 1963 • Murder in Mississippi, 1965 • The Peace Corps (JFK's Bold Legacy), 1966 • Home for Christmas (Stockbridge Main Street at Christmas), 1967 The museum also houses the Rockwell Center for American Visual Studies, a national research institute dedicated to American illustration art. • Illustration — The central room displaying the "Four Freedoms" paintings.
