You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Yale Center for British Art''' at [[Yale University]] in central [[New Haven, Connecticut]], houses the largest and most comprehensive collection of [[British art]] outside the [[United Kingdom]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://artsandculture.google.com/partner/yale-center-for-british-art|title=Yale Center for British Art|website=Google art and culture))</ref> The collection of paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, rare books, and manuscripts reflects the development of British art and culture from the [[Elizabethan era|Elizabethan period]] onward.

==Creation==
The center was established by a gift from [[Paul Mellon]] (Yale College Class of 1929) of his British art collection to [[Yale University|Yale]] in 1966, together with an endowment for operations of the center, and funds for a building to house the artworks. The building was designed by [[Louis I. Kahn]] and constructed at the corner of York and Chapel Streets in New Haven, across the street from one of Kahn's earliest buildings,<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2016/may/11/yale-center-for-british-art-louis-khan-connecticut|title=Yale Center for British Art: deft incisions give Louis Kahn a masterful makeover|last=Wainwright|first=Oliver|date=11 April 2016|website=The Guardian))</ref> the [[Yale University Art Gallery]], built in 1953. The Yale Center for British Art was completed after Kahn's death in 1974, and opened to the public on April 15, 1977. The exterior is made of matte steel and reflective glass; the interior is made of [[travertine]] marble, white oak, and Belgian linen. Kahn succeeded in creating intimate galleries where one can view objects in diffused natural light. He wanted to allow in as much daylight as possible, with artificial illumination used only on dark days or in the evening. The building's design, materials, and sky-lit rooms combine to provide an environment for the works of art that is simple and dignified.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/01/05/2016/arts/design/whispers-of-louis-kahns-vision-at-the-yale-center-for-british-art.html|title=Whispers of Louis Kahn's Vision at the Yale Center for British Art|last=Lesser|first=Wendy|date=28 April 2016|website=The New York Times))</ref>

The center is affiliated with the [[Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art]] in [[London]], which awards grants and fellowships, publishes academic titles, and sponsors Yale's first credit-granting undergraduate study abroad program, Yale-in-London.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://theshopsatyale.com/listings/yale-center-for-british-art/|title=Yale Center for British art|website=The shops at Yale))</ref>

The collection also includes a complete set of William Morris's Kelmscott Press publications as well as a growing collection of contemporary artists' books. The core of the collection of illustrated books is the material amassed by Major J. R. Abbey‚ one of the first collectors of British color-plate books, and includes more than 2‚000 volumes describing British life‚ customs‚ scenery‚ and travel during the period 1770–1860. The center's collection also contains a significant number of early maps and atlases.

The four-floor center offers a year-round schedule of exhibitions and educational programs, including films, concerts, lectures, tours, symposia, and family programs. It also provides numerous opportunities for scholarly research, including residential fellowships. Academic resources of the center include the reference library (40,000 volumes) and photo archive, conservation laboratories, and a study room for examining works on paper from the collection.

The center is open to the public free of charge six days a week, and is a member of the [[North American Reciprocal Museums]] program.
