Yale University Art Gallery
Yale University Art Gallery, Art museum at Yale University in New Haven, United States
The Yale University Art Gallery spans multiple buildings on campus, featuring stone arches, large windows, and a modernist main structure with tetrahedral openings.
In 1832, artist John Trumbull established the gallery by donating over 100 paintings depicting scenes from the American Revolution to Yale College.
The permanent collection contains 185,000 artworks, including Italian Renaissance paintings, African sculptures, European masterpieces, and pieces from ancient civilizations.
The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday without admission fees and provides educational programs for university students and local schools.
Architect Louis Kahn incorporated concrete slabs with pyramidal forms throughout the 1953 building, creating geometric patterns across the interior spaces.
