In the post, she revealed a love for trains and for Emin, who she's known since her daughter Lourdes 'Lola' Leon was a child.
'I have enormous respect and admiration for her. She's the 21st century Frida Kahlo,' Madonna mused about Emin.
Madonna also said she loved being on the Yale campus and didn't want to leave being surrounded by 'so many great minds.'
'I wanted to stay and get my PhD. Can you guess in what subject?' she asked her Instagram following.

According to the British museum, Emin is known for her dynamic and autobiographical works, which often express themes of love, loss, hope and grief.
'With honesty and deep feeling, her art draws on her personal experiences of illness, intimacy, and sexuality to confront broader concerns about women's bodies and health,' the museum states.
This exhibit is the first major presentation of the artist's work in a North American museum. It features paintings dating back to 2007.
Emin's work will be on display through Aug. 10, 2025.
