Academic and Illustration Museums
Submitted by Gurney Journey
I was trying to compile a list of museums, and I wonder if you can help me. I’m looking for museums with an especially good selection of 19th century academic realism, fantasy or science fiction artwork, or golden age American illustration, where the collection is usually on display, not locked in the basement.
Here’s what I’ve got so far:
Brandywine River Museum, Chadds Ford, PA
Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington, Delaware
Haggin Museum, Stockton, California
Metropolitan Museum, New York, New York
Musee d’Orsay, Paris, France
National Museum of American Illustration, Newport, Rhode Island
New Britain Museum, New Britain, Connecticut
Norman Rockwell Museum, Stockbridge, Massachusetts
Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, Massachusetts
Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore, Maryland
Please let me know if I’ve missed your favorite museum, specifically for this type of artwork.

I tried the d’orsay museum link which doesnt go directly to the american collection which is fine but i never actually made it to the american collection as it was a navigation hassle unfortunately.
