Admission-Free, The Yale Center For British Art In Connecticut Is The Perfect Day Trip Destination
Ever have the urge to get out and explore but are short on funds? No worries, there are plenty of day trips in Connecticut that don’t require loads of cash! One of our favorite outings that won’t break the bank is a trip to the Yale Center for British Art. Many people don’t know that Connecticut is home to the largest collection of British art outside of the United Kingdom. This museum in New Haven is home to more than 2,000 works of art and is open to the public free of charge. It’s a beautiful museum that’s a perfect free and educational day trip for art lovers.
This world-class museum not only houses works of art, it's also a work of art in itself. The museum opened to the public in 1977 and was the first American museum to have retail shops incorporated in its design.
This is a really neat facet of the museum, as it means that the works of art give off different vibes depending on the time of day and the weather outside.
There are plenty of permanent exhibits, and you'll also find rotating special exhibits on loan from other museums.
