  I love off-beat and unique and the a little bit hard to find/get to. This was all of that. Add to it how warm, friendly and interesting the artist and his family were. This is one wild place. The artist is (don't let him fool you ) a skilled and trained artist. The art you will see here is compilations of stuff - there is no waste in his house. A favorite medium seems to be cigarette butts (which he alllllmost apologizes for). You will also see booze bottles, egg cartons, scraps of wood, coffee cups and lids.... This is not JUNK however. Of particular interest to me was a piece in his living room called (something like) tictactoe of Aids. Also a medicine cabinet. Of course some of his busts are just fun. my favorite was probably the "discoball/wreath/hive" in silver butts. Make the call, make the trip!

  I just saw the story on CBS This Morning and I will put the Norwood Museum on my bucket list of must see unique art!! The Norwoods were candid, funny and charming in the interview. Can't wait to make my way there in my travels ✌👍

  John Norwood is more than a talented artist, he is a thoughtful and charming man who has had some wonderful and heartbreaking experiences in his life. I was fortunate to visit the museum before the fire of 2009 destroyed a lot of his work. There are no words to describe the type of art that John Norwood creates and how it all has meaning. Whether you have little interest in art or are an art scholar, you will surely find something that will make you think differently and feel differently...in a profoundly good way. When I visit College Point, the Norwood Museum is something I always look forward to seeing.
