The Museum is home to, among other things, several original The Literary Digest cover illustrations. The Rockwell's include Smiles in Belgium Once More, The Story of Christmas and Woman Pinning Boutonnière on Man.

Other artists beside Rockwell are represented in the collection including F. X. Leyendecker, J. F. Kernan, and John Ward Dunsmore. All the artists on display worked for the Funk and Wagnalls publishing house. Many more artists are on display in the Exhibition Of America Illustration.

There are several other permanent exhibits worth seeing, including a collection of Chinese articles. This exhibit includes ivory carvings, jade, fine silks and porcelain.

And if that's not enough, the Museum also presents several seasonal and temporary exhibits each year.
