Distinguished Nigerian exhibit from a Yoruban carver
Through January 2023, there is an exhibit of a master sculptor's work from Nigeria (Bamigboye) that was fascinating to see. This exhibit showed a study of over 50 years of his work of the Yoruba tradition. It was a great selection to view in addition to seeing other Nigerian carvers' art forms.

A gem packed full of art treasures
This was a particularly welcome cool air conditioned respite in a hot midsummer day. As a bonus the admission was free. The museum itself is artistic architecture. But the best part is the many pieces by the masters (Monet, Degas, Calder, Mondrian and many others in a smallish museum that one can tour in a few hours. And there were many othe collections starting with ancient treasures from Egypt. An impressive collection for a university! Makes me realize how many wealthy Yale alumni there must be! I was grateful to enjoy the fruits of their collections.
