However, one of the great myths about the museum is that we hold a hidden treasure-trove of paintings and only exhibit a small fraction of our collection. Oh, if only this were the case! The reality is that our collection resources are too modest to meet the many exhibit requests we receive. The museum is very anxious to increase its holdings through donations, loans and, when we are able to, by pur chase. Just like the people in a Norman Rockwell painting, art patrons are a diverse group. Over the years, donors have cited many different reasons for supporting the Norman Rockwell Museum. Following are some of these wonderful and heartfelt reasons: "We had to keep our Rockwell painting in storage and insure it, too. We decided to donate it to the museum so others could enjoy it.
