Columbus Museum of Art

Columbus, Ohio

The Columbus Museum of Art features one original Norman Rockwell painting in its permanent collection.

The sole Norman Rockwell painting in the Museum's collection (so far) is Soda Jerk. Soda Jerk appeared on the cover of the August 22, 1953 issue of The Saturday Evening Post.

One of Rockwell's sons was the model for the young man in the painting.

Soda Jerk, a 36" x 34" oil on canvas, was given to the Museum by bequest of J. Willard Loos.

Of course, the Museum has many other fine works of art in addition to this Norman Rockwell original painting. Such notable artists as Pablo Picasso, Winslow Homer, Claude Monet and Henri Matisse are all represented in the Museum's collection. The Museum also houses the largest collection of artwork by George Bellows anywhere. There are many more exhibits, including glass work from Dale Chihuly.

This Museum is definitely worth a visit.
