NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - The Yale Center for British Art is reopening after a lengthy project to restore the building's interior and bring it more in line with the vision of its famed architect, Louis Kahn.

The Modernist landmark was completed in 1977, three years after the architect's death.

The museum established a committee in 2002 to assess how the building had changed since its opening. The renovation work was completed in three phases at a cost of $33 million.

The museum reopened to the public on Wednesday. Among other changes the museum says galleries have been reconfigured to exemplify Kahn's original vision for intimate spaces.

The museum bills itself as the largest collection of British art outside of the United Kingdom.
