Norman Rockwell: Imagining Freedom - Virtual Field Trip

About This Project

Summary

Organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum, "Imagining Freedom" is a virtual exhibition and field trip that explores the concept of freedom and how it has been interpreted visually. The exhibition highlights in particular Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" speech and the important role played by Norman Rockwell and other American artists in communicating and advancing these universal values.

Goals & Objectives

This virtual experience allows teachers, students, and life-long learns from around the world to visit this celebrated exhibition that was on view in the Norman Rockwell Museum, as well as in major Museums across the country and Europe right in the comfort of their own classroom or home.

Results & Impact

Users of this virtual experience not only get to see what was one the walls of the exhibit but also dive into deeper connections to the Museum's digital collection that connects art to primary source materials. This has resulted in thousands of people spending more than 30 minutes in each session.
