NEW HAVEN, CT (November 14, 2024) — The Yale Center for British Art (YCBA) will reopen to the public on March 29, 2025, following a two-year closure for a major conservation project that preserves the integrity of its iconic building, designed by the world-renowned architect Louis I. Kahn. Marking a new era for the Center, the reopening will feature a full reinstallation of its distinguished collection of British art, alongside two thought-provoking solo exhibitions: J. M. W. Turner: Romance and Reality and Tracey Emin: I Loved You Until The Morning.
“My colleagues and I are thrilled to welcome visitors back into the museum to enjoy our amazing collection newly installed within Kahn’s elegant skylit galleries,” said Richard Brodhead, Interim Director. “Having had the privilege of witnessing the evolution of the Center since it first opened to the public in 1977, I am eager to share the museum’s newest chapter with today’s audiences. Through the reconceived collection display, special exhibitions, and robust programming, students, faculty, schoolchildren, and the general public are invited to engage with our holdings in exciting ways.”
