The R.W. Norton Art Gallery was opened in 1966 for the benefit of the community, providing access to original works of American and European art.

Nineteenth century American art is particularly well represented in the Gallery. We have notable assemblage of works from the Hudson River School, including paintings by Thomas Cole, Frederic Church, and Albert Bierstadt.

Other prominent American artists whose work appears in the Gallery are Winslow Homer and Impressionist Mary Cassatt.

The Gallery also possesses an extensive collection of the work of two of the most famous western artists: Frederic Remington and Charles Marion Russell.

The R.W. Norton Gallery provides a wide variety of artists and natural beauty. Please come visit us soon.

In addition the Gallery houses contemporary artists such as Peter Ellenshaw among others, and a variety of decorative arts, including Steuben glass, Wedgwood ware, engraved firearms, antique dolls, and silver by Paul Revere.

European artists have found their way to us as well. Among the oldest items in the Gallery are tapestries commissioned from Italian artist Giulio Romano in 1540. There are numerous sculptures by such artists as Antoine-Louis Barye and the French sculptor, Auguste Rodin, who is represented by works in both bronze and marble.
