About the Renovation
The Yale University Art Gallery is in the final phase of a fourteen-year renovation and expansion that will transform the visitor experience of both the museum and its esteemed collections. The project will enable the Gallery not only to enhance its role as one of the nation’s most prominent teaching institutions but also to join the ranks of the country’s leading public art museums. The expanded Gallery will open December 12, 2012.

Featured Online Resource
The Rhode Island Furniture Archive
The Rhode Island Furniture Archive at the Yale University Art Gallery is an online database documenting furniture and furniture making in Rhode Island from the time of first European colonization in 1636 through the early 19th century. The archive brings together records of surviving furniture, individuals who owned it, and known furniture makers, and aims to provide a complete account of the specific culture, local variations, and artistic practices surrounding the first two centuries of furniture making in Rhode Island. When it launched on October 18, 2010, the website made available searchable records on more than 3,000 examples of case furniture, looking glasses, and seating furniture, as well as the names and biographies of more than 1,500 craftsmen in the furniture and allied trades from 1650 to 1820. In the course of the next year, records for clocks and tables will be added, and additional features, including multiple images.
