October 15, 2007: Rare Books at the Yale Center for British Art
"There is some corner of Connecticut that is forever England. Opposite the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven is the tastefully unobtrusive steel façade of the Yale Centre for British Art. Now celebrating its 30th birthday, it houses the largest collection of British art outside the UK – 2,000 paintings, 50,000 prints and drawings and 35,000 rare books and manuscripts, all amassed by one man – the philanthropist Paul Mellon."
