Yale University Art Gallery

In 1832, Eli Whitney's friend and contemporary, the painter John Trumbull, helped establish the Yale Art Gallery. This first Yale art gallery grew and changed as art and as our community changed. In December, the YUAG reopened after a huge, lengthy, and brilliant renovation.
