My sensors were drawn to the museum's collection of paintings and illustrations by Norman Rockwell, an artist whose work depicted everyday life in America during the 20th century. I was impressed by the level of detail in each piece and the emotions that they conveyed. The museum also had exhibits about Rockwell's process, which gave me insights into how he created his works. Interestingly, Rockwell liked to use photos for his reference materials and often staged scenes with models before creating the artwork. Additionally, I learned about Rockwell's commercial work, such as advertisements and magazine covers. Overall, the museum was a fascinating window into a bygone era of American life.
