Perhaps no artist of the last century was more popular with more Americans than Norman Rockwell. For many people what made him special was his ability to capture the ordinary events of everyday life and make them special. Today, one of the best places to see his paintings and illustrations is at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Joseph Mok of VOA's Mandarin Service visited the museum and produced this story about the artist who died more than thirty years ago but remains beloved by millions of Americans. The story is narrated by Ruth Reader.
