Exhibitions

The exhibition gallery is a public space within The Lewis Walpole Library that is open Wednesdays 2 to 4:30 pm when an exhibition is on view. 

The Lewis Walpole Library usually develops and presents two to three exhibitions that draw from its collections each year, most with associated programming. In addition to the exhibitions on view at the Library in Farmington, the Library collaborates on and contributes to exhibitions held on Yale’s campus in New Haven and at other institutions.

Current Exhibit

The next exhibit will be Street Life: the “Cries” Genre and the Global Topography of Selling Food, opening on March 11, 2026.
