Description
The Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine opened in 1948, the result of a bequest by benefactor Lucy A. Farnsworth, longtime Rockland resident and an astute and pioneering businesswoman. The Museum today houses a superb collection of American art including works by legendary artists such as Winslow Homer, George Bellows, Rockwell Kent, Edward Hopper, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, and Louise Nevelson, to name just a few. The Farnsworth today holds the most significant collection in the nation that celebrates Maine's historic and continuous role in the story of American art.
