About
The Yale University Art Gallery (YUAG) is an art museum in New Haven, Connecticut. It houses a major encyclopedic collection of art in several interconnected buildings on the campus of Yale University. Although it embraces all cultures and periods, the gallery emphasizes early Italian Renaissance painting, African sculpture, and modern art. It is the oldest university art museum in the Western Hemisphere.
The gallery's permanent collection numbers more than 300,000 objects spanning ancient times to the present and represents a broad range of world cultures and art-historical traditions. Admission to the galleries is free to all visitors, in keeping with the museum's longstanding commitment to public access. The gallery serves simultaneously as a teaching museum for Yale students and as a major cultural institution for the city of New Haven and the wider region.
