Description
The 4th floor houses the permanent collection, which consist of really nice old paintings from England. They are not modern abstract art, but just pretty pictures. There are couches to sit on, so you can sit and look at the pictures and talk. I didn't see any pictures on the 4th floor which will make you embarrassed, but I didn't really cover the whole floor.
And free!!!!!
Tips
- When you get bored, walk around the Yale campus across the street. It is very Hogwartsy, and puts Harvard to shame. There is a bell tower that plays music called Harkness Tower--I hear you can climb it too.
- There is a Starbucks across the street, full of students.
- The second and third floors have borrowed collections, which are more modern, so you can go and make fun of the narishkeit of sculptures that make no sense.
