The Yale Center for British Art has long been considered one of Kahn’s finest buildings, and houses the most comprehensive collection of British art outside the United Kingdom. The structure is just as beautiful as the art within it--sleek marble and white oak create a canvas inside, while Kahn's structural design choices allow pockets of natural light to illuminate the works of art.
