The Yale University Collection of Musical Instruments is a museum at Yale University in New Haven
Connecticut
The collection of musical instruments was established in 1900 by the gift of historic keyboard instruments by Morris Steinert and later enriched in 1960 and 1962 by gifts from the Skinner and Emil Herrmann collections
It was originally housed under the dome of Woolsey Hall but was later moved to a historic romanesque structure on Hillhouse Avenue built in 1895 originally for the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity
Today it is one of the preeminent collections of its kind worldwide
Notable highlights include an unsurpassed group of keyboard instruments from three centuries
