I just got back from the Yale University Art Gallery, which I must say is a very impressive museum. My item of the week for furniture class is a Wallace Nutting side chair from around the 1920's.... it's a very modest piece compared to the rest of the art in the art gallery,but here it is:

Here are some other pictures I took in the art gallery:

The ancient art collection is really great...it rivals the ancient art of the museums in the Vatican, Florence and Rome. I didn't really stop for anything since I was just there for my chair for furniture class, and I missed a good 80% of the museum, but it was all really neat and I'll definitely go back on a blistery Saturday afternoon when there's nothing better to do. Off to office hours to work through a problem set!
