Norman Rockwell Mosaic
On the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of the United Nations in 1985, this mosaic was presented to the United Nations by Mrs. Nancy Reagan, the then First Lady, on behalf of the United States.
It is based on a painting by the American artist Norman Rockwell called the Golden
Rule. Rockwell wanted to illustrate how the Golden Rule was
a common theme of all the major religions of the world, and
depicted people of every race, creed and color with dignity
and respect. The mosaic contains the inscription "Do unto Others
as You Would Have Them Do unto You". It was executed by Venetian
artists specializing in mosaic works.
