National Museum of American Illustration
The National Museum of American Illustration (NMAI), founded in 1998, is the first national museum to be devoted exclusively to American illustration artwork.
The NMAI is located on Newport, Rhode Island's historic Bellevue Avenue in the mansion Vernon Court, designed by the noted Gilded Age architecture firm Carrère and Hastings. The museum's collection contains over 2,000 original works by noted American illustrators such as Norman Rockwell, Maxfield Parrish, J. C. Leyendecker, N.C. Wyeth, and others.〔"Founding of the Museum." NMAI: The National Museum of American Illustration. http://www.americanillustration.org/html/m_founders.html. 27 Oct. 2009.〕〔"Museum Mission Statement."

==History==
The NMAI was founded in 1998 by husband and wife team Laurence S. Cutler and Judy Goffman Cutler, with the National Arts Club as its founding institution. The museum opened its doors to the public on July 4, 2000 at the Carrère and Hastings designed Vernon Court estate in Newport, Rhode Island. 〔Laurence S Cutler; Judy Goffman Cutler; National Museum of American Illustration. ''Maxfield Parrish and the American Imagists''. Edison, NJ: Wellfleet Press, 2004. pg. 329 - 331.〕
In addition to Vernon Court, the adjacent property on Bellevue Avenue, Stoneacre, is owned by the museum. The property is named for the demolished mansion designed by architect William Appleton Potter for John W. Ellis that once occupied the site. The grounds for the site were designed by the noted landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, and following the purchase of the site by the NMAI founders, it has been restored as a park in Olmsted’s honor.〔Laurence S Cutler; Judy Goffman Cutler; National Museum of American Illustration.
