Beautiful building inside
This was a highlight of our time in new haven. Absolutely worth a trek across campus to find. The building is truly a marvel. The translucent marble is a special thing to see. My favorite exhibit was the Audubon illustrations. Even the Gutenberg Bible was much more colorful than I had expected.

Worth the visit
This place is amazing. Worth visiting if your in to history and books. My son and I took our time going around and reading the book cases. The light was low to protect all the aging books. If your a Yale student and needing to research your allowed to see them in person and touch them.

Astoundingly Beautiful
The building itself is a work of art, housing one of the largest collections of rare books. The collection occupies the e center of the structure behind walls of glass. The are varied exhibition in the public outer area, including a Guttenberg Bible. You'll be wowed by the translucent panels surrounding the building.
