When the Yale University Art Gallery opened in 1832, the Greek-revival building housed about 100 paintings. One hundred and seventy five years later, the gallery holds more than 185,000 precious objects, among them ancient coins, colonial American bookcases and Impressionist masterpieces. The original Trumbull “pinacotheca,” or gallery, is gone, and the museum now takes up an entire block of Chapel Street.
