Art is truly everywhere at Rokeby Museum! From architectural details on the historic buildings to the many pieces of artwork from the family, we are brimming with works of art. One of our favorite pieces of art is this sketch by Rowland Evans Robinson on the plaster wall in the attic of the historic house. Rowland noted underneath how frequently he hit his head on the low doorway in the attic. Today it's a reminder to our staff to watch our head when leaving the attic! #ArtIsEverywhereMW #rokebymuseum

At Rokeby Museum our staff and volunteers have many Eureka moments! Our most recent is currently on display in "Modern Artist: The Commercial Art of Rachael Robinson Elmer". In the exhibit, we feature a quote taken from a letter Rachael sent to her father during her studies at the Art Students League of New York: "Mr. Cox gave me the same criticism as last time = “too fat and round and wobbly”. I know what to work for now; strength and simplicity..," (1899). We were able to pair this quote with a sketch completed by Rachael during her studies in NYC! It was an exciting find and great to bring the letter and artwork together. #EurekaMW #rokebymuseum #artstudentsleaguenyc
