An art exhibit featuring multimedia works and artefacts inspired by the iconic seated Lincoln sculpture in Washington opened over the weekend at the Norman Rockwell Museum to commemorate the memorial's 100th anniversary.

The museum is located in Stockbridge, the same small Massachusetts town where Lincoln Memorial sculptor Daniel Chester French’s studio, Chesterwood, is located. The museum and studio worked together on the Lincoln Memorial Illustrated exhibit.
