Dinner Series: Rockwell/Wyeth: Icons of Americana
October 22, 2026 · 5:30 PM · The Reading Public Museum, 500 Museum Road
About the event
An evening at the Reading Public Museum built around dinner in the galleries, with a curator leading a tour of illustrations by Norman Rockwell and N.C. Wyeth. Their work shaped how mid-century America pictured itself, from magazine covers and advertisements to book illustrations, and the tour puts that post-war Americana in context before guests sit down to eat.
The night opens with a cocktail hour and appetizers, followed by a chef-prepared meal with wine pairings selected by a Reading-based sommelier. The museum's dinner series brings together area chefs, restaurants, and catering talent with the collections and special exhibitions on view, so the menu is planned to match the mood of the art.
This is one of three dinners the museum hosts across the year, and guests can come for a single evening or follow the whole series. Seating is arranged in advance through the museum, and the setting inside the galleries at 500 Museum Road makes for a relaxed, unhurried evening close to home.
Hosted by Reading Public Museum on BerksConnect.
