Part of an academic institution, the Gallery constantly seeks new ways to make its collection more accessible for scholarly inquiry. The holdings are vast, with just 5 percent of the collection on display at our Chapel Street location. New investments promise to make many more items accessible to students, researchers, and the public. At West Campus, the Margaret and Angus Wurtele Study Center is a new, open-access study facility where scholars can engage with more than 42,000 of the Gallery's objects. The Leslie P. and George H. Hume American Furniture Study Center recently opened in the same building. Moving ahead, the Gallery plans new collaborations with Yale’s Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage, along with the university’s other museums and libraries, to accelerate its research mission.
