The Student Guide Program at the Yale Center for British Art offers Yale undergraduates the opportunity to work closely with the most comprehensive collection of British art outside the United Kingdom. Guides offer tours of the museum and its collections to the Yale community and the general public. This program seeks to encourage undergraduates to take advantage of this valuable resource on Yale’s campus.
