This spring is the last chance to see the original Four Freedoms at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts – at least for a couple of years. Saturday marks the 75th anniversary of President Franklin Roosevelt’s speech, which inspired Rockwell’s works. WAMC’s Berkshire Bureau Chief JD Allen spoke with Museum Director Laurie Norton Moffatt about the historic works’ upcoming tour.

The works start their tour at the New-York Historical Society in May and won’t return to Stockbridge until 2020. There’s a talk at the museum on the Four Freedoms today at 1:30.
