Watch for special exhibits
There are some real gems of British art here; the descriptions could be more informative. Electronic guides would have been super helpful. Our favorites were The history paintings by Marc Quinn, on view until October 16, 2022, especially Emma Gonzalez speaks at a rally for gun control. Staff were uniformly friendly and helpful.

Outstanding collection of British art plus several special exhibits
The Yale Center for British Art has an outstanding collection of British art covering the years ~1550 - present plus several special exhibits. The galleries are arranged in mostly chronological order, with the (mostly) paintings reflecting various British and world events affecting society. The museum building is also outstanding, with several multi-story galleries suitable for displaying the more grandiose painting intended for some castle's main hall. The current special exhibits covered the role of female British artists in several periods. The museum is located on Yale's campus; just a few steps for the main New Haven Green. Definitely worth a visit if in the New Haven area.
