About this business

One would never guess that a Gutenberg Bible, rare prints by the famed ornithologist John Audubon, and other remarkable manuscripts and journals would all be located in this library in the heart of the Yale campus.

On a whim we decided to drive out to Yale to attend a tour of the Beinecke library. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging throughout the tour. The collection is amazing to see and includes the collection Yale was founded with, kids books, and a large selection dated 1450-1500. They have different exhibits throughout the year. We were fortunate to view a first print of the Declaration of Independence. I highly recommended checking out this gem!
