Yale University

Yale University is a gleaming jewel in the heart of New Haven. The Yale campus is a tourist destination in and of itself, with remarkable structures constructed by Eero Saarinen, Frank O. Gehry, and other notable architects. There is a film, and historical artifacts in the visitor center, and free student-led campus tours are available every morning.

Several world-class museums may be found at Yale University. There is the YA Art Gallery, the Peabody Museum of Natural History, and the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. There's a copy of the Gutenberg Bible, dinosaur fossils, Van Gogh paintings, and more treasures to be found here.

If you want to see dinosaurs, go to the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, one of Connecticut's most popular tourist destinations. Among the more than 14 million specimens and items on exhibit, you'll find everything from fossils to meteorites to Babylonian carved stone divination devices.
