CT road trip!
When things open up, later this year, I’d really like to visit the Lewis-Walpole Library in Farmington, Connecticut. (I visited Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham, in London, a couple of years ago. House is beautiful, but it has none of Horace Walpole’s possessions in it; they are mostly at the Lewis-Walpole Library at Farmington.) Also, at Yale University, the Centre for British Art and the Yale University Art Gallery. What else to see at Yale and generally, in that part of Connecticut?

He attended classes at numerous colleges including Trinity, Yale, Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and College of the City of New York, but never received a degree.
Thanks for the links!

Just saw this in the NYT. Yale museums reopening, or already reopened.
