HOWLAND The Norman Rockwell collection on display at the Medici Museum of Art is one of the assets the Boy Scouts of America is offering to sell as part of a bankruptcy reorganization proposal.
To protect itself from victim compensation lawsuits from former Scouts who say they were sexually assaulted as children, the BSA filed for bankruptcy in February 2020, less than a month after the art collection arrived locally.
The reorganization plan filed Monday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware would sell the BSA art collection and other assets to establish a fund to settle those claims. The art collection, which includes works by Walt Disney, J.C. Leyendecker and other artists as well as 65 Rockwell paintings, has been appraised at more than $100 million.
