The Yale University Art Gallery is once again open to the public.

“Thanks to the hard work of our colleagues, including Director of Visitor Services Leonor Barroso and Chief of Security Frank Biceglia, we were able to meet strict protocols that have been set by the State of Connecticut and by Yale University to reopen,” says Stephanie Wiles, the Henry J. Heinz II director. “We are proud to be one of very few academic museums in the U.S. that have been able to welcome the public back inside.”

The number of visitors is limited and those older than 2 ½ years old must wear a mask. Each visitor must register for a separate ticket. Visits will last for about one hour. A one-way, low-touch route will be offered through three exhibits:

• Reckoning with “The Incident”: John Wilson’s Studies for a Lynching Mural

• James Prosek: Art, Artifact, Artifice

• Place, Nations, Generations, Beings: 200 Years of Indigenous North American Art

The Yale University Art Gallery is open Friday from 3 to 7 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. To find out more and reserve tickets, visit artgallery.yale.edu.
