The opening of what is now called Tweed New Haven Regional Airport came just short of two years after then-Mayor Thomas H. Tulley and Gov. John H.

Founded in 1832, when patriot-artist John Trumbull donated over 100 of his paintings to Yale College, the gallery has grown to an extensive collection of over 185,000 objects spanning centuries and the globe.

Yale University actually began collecting art in 1718, when Gov. Elihu Yale gave the college what could be considered the cornerstone of its collection, a portrait of King George I by the British artist Sir Godfrey Kneller.

John Trumbull, who was born this week (June 6) in 1756, is someone most Americans have never heard of. Yet, he painted America's most famous - and most visited - painting, "The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776," which has hung in the Rotunda of the Capitol in Washington, D.C., since 1826.
