Dear Friends:
As I reflect on my third year as Paul Mellon Director of the Yale Center for British Art, I see a time marked by transition, renewed activity, and the anticipation of brighter, busier days ahead.
By the end of the summer, all YCBA staff returned to work on-site, an essential factor in our ability to fulfill our mission as a public art museum. Through the commitment, creativity, and good humor of my colleagues, we continued to connect with our public while adapting to our new normal.
Together, we welcomed 29,176 visitors to the museum during the 163 days that we were open; presented four exhibitions; produced two publications, including our first born-digital catalogue; added 262 objects to our collection; presented conversations, films, lectures, symposia, and tours; and shared our resources with families, students, scholars, and visitors from all over the world.
