About Yale
This Tumblr is a photo album, sketchbook and moodboard of sights and sounds from around the University and our home, New Haven, Connecticut. Some truly incredible people live, learn, teach and play here - we would like to introduce you to a few of them.
Want to submit something to be published on the blog (say, a photo of the Wooster Square cherry blossoms in bloom, or even a personal video project)? Go right ahead and send it through the Submissions page.
“Lunar Sphere” by David Ellsworth is one of over seventy works on display in the Conversations with Wood exhibit at the Yale University Art Gallery.
The exhibition is drawn from the world-renowned wood art collection of Ruth and David Waterbury, B.A. 1958, demonstrating superb craftsmanship, a rich diversity of techniques, and changing approaches to the art of wood turning.

The display, which was organized by Site Projects a few weeks ago, was in celebration of the Elm City’s 375th birthday.

Did you know that the Yale Center for British Art houses the largest collection of British art outside of the United Kingdom?
The YCBA’s current ongoing exhibition, Edwardian Opulence: British Art at the Dawn of the 20th Century, will be the first major international exhibition in more than a generation to survey visual and decorative arts in Britain during the reign of King Edward VII (1901-1910).
The Yale Center for British Art has been selected as one of The World’s 50 Greatest Galleries by The Times of London, beating out the Tate Modern and the Vatican Museums in Rome.
The gallery is always free and open to the public.

The Gallery is always free, and open to the public.
