Norman Rockwell's Pan Am Adventure

Norman Rockwell's work reflects his interactions with people all over the world, and went on view in an exhibit at the United Nations in New York, We the Peoples: Norman Rockwell's United Nations, through September 15, 2015. A previous exhibit in 2007 was also staged by the Norman Rockwell Museum: Around the World with Norman Rockwell displayed the artist's travel sketchbook and images that later led to a highly successful Pan American World Airways advertising campaign. The sketches were made throughout his tour abroad in 1956, a trip sponsored by Pan Am.
