h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, we drove 3 hours to the Norman Rockwell Museum today. When we payed for our tickets the old lady at the counter says, "Just so that you know...a few of the paintings are on tour."

So we walked through the museum. All four rooms of it.

As it turned out "a few" evidently meant aproximately one hundred. Most of the paintings were done when Rockwell was suffering from senility. They were horrible.

The secondary exhibit was of Rockwell Kent's work. Aside from a few good engravings done for an edition of Moby Dick, there was little of value. His paintings were weak. He had little concern for composition and barely any concept of how to use color. This wasn't art.

I will add The Norman Rockwell Museum to my ever growing list of Galleries to avoid.

It cost me nine dollars to enter. I spent less than five minutes there.

Rockwell was over-rated anyhow.
