I'm deeply saddened by the fact that most of the gallery has been closed. The art gallery is an incomparable resource to students and to the Yale community. Museum officials said they are trying their best to accommodate Yale faculty and students, and the gallery's security department has coordinated with art history classes to schedule visits. Professors and teaching assistants said having to schedule visits has proven inconvenient. But Friday classes have no options.
Art is art.
A slide or photo is very different, and this is a real loss to students. Students said they are disappointed about the closing of the art gallery, which has restricted their ability to visit for both art projects and pleasure. It's a fabulous art gallery and especially for art, it's important to look at what influences you. Books just aren't as good as actual art pieces. On a typical day, YUAG can receive up to 600 guests from around the nation, Weltzien said.
