Saturday afternoon I checked out the Yale University Art Gallery and went on a “Masterpice Tour”. It was amazing, as you will see in the photos below. Admission is always free and the people there are very welcoming. I hate to admit that I only went in there for the first time in my life two years ago. I think that I had the “I will go one of these days” mentality, and I think I also used to be intimidated by the grandeur of the institution and the works contained within. How silly. If that sounds like you, just go check it out, you won’t regret it. If it doesn’t sound like you, go anyway, you won’t regret it either.
Here is a link to their calendar so you can see what’s going on, and when the scheduled tours are. http://calendar.yale.edu/cal/yuag
