New York and Boston are not that far! From here to there are some of the richest collections of art in the world. Here students will find links to remarkable museums and galleries in the commuter region. Under the name of each institution is a list of that establishment's current temporary exhibitions. We hope that this section will expose Yale students to the vibrant art world outside of New Haven.
