In 1939, the funds acquired through these activities allowed the Society to purchase the building which currently houses the Museum. The museum itself was established in 1981. Its collection consists of 1,500 works of art, including classic illustrations by the likes of Norman Rockwell, Howard Pyle, and Rockwell Kent as well as more recent illustrations such as those found in Time magazine and The New Yorker . What To See The museum's public galleries consist of two medium-sized rooms on the first floor and two more on the lower level. There are no tours, but you are welcome to view the works at your leisure.
Exhibits change monthly so call ahead to find out what is on display.
The illustrations on display were selected by a jury of art directors and illustrators. While some of the illustrations on display are images that only an art junkie could appreciate, there are plenty of illustrations and models here that almost everyone will understand and enjoy. Of course, not all of the illustrations are about celebrated figures in television, sports, or politics. It depicts dollar signs, books, eyes, and hands surrounding a wire figure of a little girl. In the background is a description of what a child went through when she was molested.
