Boston Public Library, Trinity Church, North End, Yale University Art Gallery, and Yale Center for British Art | Boston, MA & New Haven, CT

Life has been incredibly busy the past few weeks so I will be posting several entries at once. I had the opportunity to make another trip to Boston, and to visit the Yale University Art Gallery and the Yale Center for British Art. 

So far, Boston is probably my favorite large city that I have visited. It has an incredibly rich history, lots of artwork and cultural sites to visit, and it's large but it does not have the super fast pace or air of self-importance like New York City.


On this trip I visited the Boston Public Library and saw some incredible murals, Trinity Church in Copley Square, and the North End for some yummy gelato and a cannoli.

A very very yummy cannoli that I intended to take home for
later, but only made it halfway through Rhode Island

In New Haven I went to the Yale University Art Gallery and the Yale Center for British Art. Not only do these two institutions house some amazing artworks but also the museum buildings are gorgeous too.
