Anyone going to this? I am going to the Opening Party on Nov. 10

I'd love to visit the Norman Rockwell Museum and not just for the Alex Ross exhibit. The NRM seems to be quite an intriguing place. I visit a museum at least every other week. Unfortunately the NRM is a couple of 1000s miles out of my way (and budget).

Have fun though. And a report with pics would be appreciated ;)

Luckily I live in Albany NY and it is only an hour or so away

I was a few miles away with time to kill about 5 years ago, and didn't know about the museum until that night.

I saw this at the Warhol and it was really cool. Seeing that artwork up close was amazing.

I think is cool that Alex Ross is going to be there at the opening and it was only $20

Great event last night ... Got to chat briefly with Uncle Sal and get two things signed by Alex Ross ... Check out the exhibit if possible

Went up with my son up to see the exhibit this weekend. Maybe a little smaller than I was expecting, and I was a little bummed that they didn't allow any photography of the exhibit due to "copyright restrictions" (though that wasn't a problem for the rest of the museum dedicated to, you know, the most famous illustrator in American history?!?), but it definitely represented a good cross-section of his work (particularly the DC material), and well-balanced by showing works from artists that inspired him - Rockwell, Warhol, even his own mom, among others - and lots of work he produced as a kid. I think this was the thing my son got the biggest kick out of. He has quite a creative streak, so seeing stuff obviously produced by a kid combined with the work that kid went on to produce as an adult seemed to inspire him a bit. At one point he turned to me and said "Maybe I could do this when I grow up. Wouldn't that be cool, Dad?"

Yes, Liam. Yes it would.
