The National Museum of American Illustration is a nonprofit,
independent, educational and aesthetic organization. It is located
in Newport, RI, on Bellevue Avenue at Vernon Court (1898), a
Carr�re and Hastings designed Beaux-Arts adaptation of an 18th
century French chateau. It is the first national museum devoted
exclusively to American illustration art. Illustration consists of
original artwork created to be reproduced in books, magazines,
newspapers, and advertisements. 'Golden Age' paintings by such
luminaries as Norman Rockwell, Maxfield Parrish, NC Wyeth, JC
Leyendecker, and 75 others are displayed in 'Gilded Age'
architecture, creating a unique union of architecture and art - a
national treasure. The Museum is administered by the American
Civilization Foundation, a nonprofit organization with the goal to
present the best possible venue for appreciating the greatest
collection of illustration art - the most American of American
art.
