Yale University Art Gallery
The Yale University Art Gallery houses a significant and encyclopedic collection of art in several buildings on the campus of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. Although it embraces all cultures and periods, the Gallery possesses especially renowned collections of early Italian painting, African sculpture, and modern art. Its holdings of American decorative and fine arts are amongst the best in existence.
==History==
The Yale University Art Gallery is the oldest university art museum in the western hemisphere.〔(Yale University Art Gallery — 1953 )〕 The Gallery was founded in 1832, when patriot-artist John Trumbull donated to Yale College more than 100 paintings of the American Revolution〔(''Special Exhibit Examines Dynamic Relationship Between the Art of Pablo Picasso and Writing'' Yale University Art Gallery, Retrieved October 8, 2009 )〕 and designed the original Picture Gallery. This building, on Old Campus, was razed in 1901.〔(Yale Art Gallery, Yale Buildings and Grounds )〕
The Gallery's main building〔(Yale Art Gallery: Kahn Building )〕 was built in 1953 and was among the very first designed by Louis Kahn, who taught architecture at Yale. A complete renovation, which returned many spaces to Kahn's original vision, was completed in December 2006 by Polshek Partnership Architects. The older Tuscan romanesque portion was built in 1928 and was designed by Egerton Swartwout. The Gallery reopened on December 12, 2012, after a 14-year renovation and expansion project〔Antiques Magazine, November–December 2012, 108-109.〕 at a cost of $135 million.〔Charles McGrath (December 6, 2012), (A King of Art With the Midas Touch ) ''New York Times''.〕 The expanded space totals 69,975 square feet.
The museum is a member of the North American Reciprocal Museums program.
