Yale University Art Gallery - New Haven

All encompassing. Especially extensive African and Indonesian collections.

Pleasantly surprised at the quality and impressive amount of art from around the world, at this gallery. From ancient art to modern art, Yale did not disappoint. I was excited to see paintings from Monet, Picasso, and many other famous artists. It's free to visit, so go and check it out! Parking is available in local private garages or on the street.

Oh my goodness, what a spectacular gallery! 5 floors of varied but very interesting exhibits, ancient sculptures, paintings, old currency and coins, provocative images, and descriptions well done and on-point. Super clean, cool, fresh, bright, spacious rooms. Very friendly (and numerous) security folks walking around. Large bags stored in gratis lockers upon entrance. Free! WCs are numerous, big, clean, bright, and well maintained.Clearly, the exhibits are all donated from Yale alumni over the decades (centuries). Of course, how Yale alumni got possession of ancient Greek sculptures, well, another story.Also very good, lots of comfortable seating and benches, which help you rest, to explore a bit more. The place is very big. Count on 2-3 hours to see if all.Definitely if visiting the Yale campus, take a tour through this museum, and be impressed.

Absolutely brilliantly stunning! An outstanding collection in all respects. So well worth a visit, I'm surprised you might not have had the opportunity yet! Works you've never seen, in cases, by artists you know well along with others you know well. Works from a variety of times and places. The collection uplifts the visitor on a multitude of levels. And, it's free!

...that other place across the street from the british museum designed by yale.....as good as this is, its just a shadow of the british museum though it has its moments
