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 [[Italy|Italian]] painting, [[Africa]]n sculpture, and [[modern art]]. Its holdings of [[United States|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.<ref>[http://www.buildings.yale.edu/property.aspx?id=26 Yale University Art Gallery — 1953]</ref> The Gallery was founded in 1832, when patriot-artist [[John Trumbull]] donated to [[Yale University|Yale College]] more than 100 [[painting]]s of the [[American Revolution]]<ref name="picasso pr">[http://artgallery.yale.edu/pdf/0109_picasso.pdf ''Special Exhibit Examines Dynamic Relationship Between the Art of Pablo Picasso and Writing'' Yale University Art Gallery, Retrieved October 8, 2009]</ref> and designed the original Picture Gallery.  This building, on [[Old Campus]], was raised in 1901.<ref>[http://www.facilities.yale.edu/Campus/Building1.asp?lstBldg=2520&submit1=Continue Yale Art Gallery, Yale Buildings and Grounds]</ref>

The Gallery's main building<ref>[http://artgallery.yale.edu/pages/collection/buildings/build_kahn.html Yale Art Gallery: Kahn Building]</ref> 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 [[Romanesque architecture|Tuscan romanesque]] portion was built in 1928 and was designed by [[Tracy and Swartwout|Egerton Swartwout]]. The Gallery reopened on December 12, 2012, after a 14-year renovation and expansion project<ref>Antiques Magazine, November–December 2012, 108-109.</ref> at a cost of $135 million.<ref name="A King of Art With the Midas Touch">Charles McGrath (December 6, 2012), [http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/09/arts/design/jock-reynolds-transformative-director-of-yale-art-gallery.html A King of Art With the Midas Touch] ''[[New York Times]]''.</ref> The expanded space totals 69,975 square feet.

The museum is a member of the [[North American Reciprocal Museums]] program.
