The Yale University Art Gallery, 1111 Chapel Street, between High and York streets (map), is the oldest university art museum in North America. The university's collections form a substantial holding of European, African, Pre-Columbian, American, Ancient, and Asian art—more than 185,000 works in all. Along with Van Gogh's masterpiece The Night Cafe, there are paintings by Rubens, Hals, Manet, Picasso, and others. It is justifiably proud of its Garvan Collection of American furniture and silver, the best such collection in the world. Lectures, concerts, films, and special exhibits are always on when the university is in session. The Art Gallery is open from 10am to 5 pm (Thursday till 8pm; weekends 11am to 5pm; closed Monday), for free. You should also consider visiting the nearby Yale Center for British Art another of Yale University's outstanding art collections. More... Yale University Art Gallery —by Tom Brosnahan
