One of my favorite museums in the world. Let’s start off with the history. This is the same Frick who in the Gilded Age was Carnegie’s rival. Knowing that alone and that this was his house makes the museum very cool. Now, as for the art, every piece is beautiful. Some of these works have even been featured as textbook covers, such as the Sir Thomas Moore painting. A must visit in the city!

One of my favorite museums in New York. he is very homely and comfortable. The collection of paintings and paintings is selected with special taste. and walking through the preserved rooms and interiors is pleasant. if you have the opportunity to go to this museum you will not regret it. take a break from the bustle of the huge rooms of other museums. There is an excellent garden and a nice gift shop.

For school I had to attend a virtual exhibition, and Im so glad that I chose the Frick Collection. Their virtual tour gives you clear 360-degree views of many interesting rooms from different angles. The art was beautiful, and if Im able to go in person at some point, I probably will. However, there were some issues. As a very nerdy student, I wanted to actually read the description, or even just the name of each piece of art. There was a feature that let you know what you were looking at as you came in, and I could probably do more digging to find what I was looking for, but someone less tech-savvy would probably be disappointed. Thank you to the Frick Collection for making my school day even more interesting!

I took The Frick Museums Three Manets VIRTUAL Exhibit. It was a very interesting and intriguing experience. I really enjoyed looking at the artwork and learning about each piece. I really liked how each painting had an in-depth information page that isnt hard to understand, but also still has a lot of information that for someone like me, who doesnt know a lot about art, can learn from. I only have a rather minor complaint, but I do think that the exhibit would benefit from having a few of these changes.When you click on one of the pieces, a box with a photo of the artwork pops up in the corner of the screen. If you want to learn more, there is a link on the top of the photo, but it really doesnt give you much other information about the artwork once you click on it. More of a description for the artwork - almost like a teaser - would give the viewer a little bit of background on the subject, as well as possibly intriguing them to learn more about it.

Everything the Met has, the Frick has (in terms of landmark European artists. If you like somebody more obscure or if you’re looking for non-European art this is not the most comprehensive place). The presentation is less confusing than at the Met, because there is less of it, and only the very best stuff. I will never forget the room with all the British portraits or the fireplace with Thomas Cromwell and Thomas Moore on either side. Courtyard is enjoyable to sit in for a while too.

Cool place to visit. Every month’s first week’s Friday night from 6pm to 9pm is free to visit.And also wanna remind you, only the center courtyard can take a picture. Inside can’t take any photos, so better just go and see.

An unexpected jewel of a stunning private collection of artwork housed in what used to be the Frick family residence. The artwork: Rembrandt, Tintoretto, Vermeer... the list goes on and on. Large, unique and gorgeous artwork. The residence: A beautiful and elegant house located next to Central Park complete with a garden, grand staircase, and enclosed portico. (Photos of artwork not allowed.) A must-see in NYC!!

Small but fantastic museum, with a top notch collection of mostly European art. The house (more like a mansion) itself is also gorgeous, just as interesting as the art collection.The only negatives are the prohibition on taking pictures on most of the house (everywhere except the inner patio), and the lack of plaques giving info on the exposed art.

This is the original home of the wealthy Frick family who collected fine furnishings and art which were all bequeathed to NYC to operate as a museum. While the bulk of the items stay the same since they are original to the home, they do hold small new exhibits from time to time. One visit is sufficient to see everything. Note on the first Friday of each month, admission is free from 6 pm to closing at 9 p.m. Be prepared to stand in line for the free evenings but not for long. At this time students and visitors often sit in the garden room to sketch. The Frick also holds small intimate concerts for which you should check the local listings. It is an absolutely beautiful place and well worth a visit.

Where do I begin to describe the glorious #frickcollectionmuseum from the stunning blue #boucher room to the stunning #fragonard paintings from #madamedubarry or the #elgreco flanked by #hansholbein #thomasmoore and #thomascromwell. I always consider it an honor and blessing to be able to see art anywhere but the #frickcollection really blew me away. What a magnificent home it must have been and we are so privileged to enjoy it. #bucketlist

Personally, this antique museum is my favorite one in nyc. Although this place is smaller than other well-known museum, the atmosphere is incompatible. It is different at each room according to masterpieces. What I like the most is there is no border between viewers and art works. Also, you can see various of antique furniture and decorations at each room. So classic and lovely museum.

An excellent collection of art. it’s quiet inside and you’re not allowed to go in large groups, but its good to visit on your own or with a few people. some of the best paintings you’ll ever see are in here, and it’s located right near the Met so you can visit both places in one day!

Attended first Friday at The Frick Collection (free on first Friday of every month 6.00 - 8.00 PM) there are special events there such as gallery talking, music appreciation, skating in the court yard with live music. Recommend to go on the first Friday unless you need to pay $22 per pax.

Amazing art collection (paintings, pottery, sculpture, center pieces). Monet, Renoir, Vermeer, Whistler, etc.Use audiotour or your mobile with the Frick collection website for the audiotour to truly appreciate your visit.Dont miss La Promenade from Pierre-Auguste Renoir, hidden besides the grand staircase.Mandatory cloakroom services.

The Frick is so much more than a big house turned into an art museum. The house itself is a work of art. Gorgeous wood doors with original fixtures, artistic landscaping in the atrium that is regularly turned to reflect the seasons, outside gardens with intricate stone pathways, water and wall gardens, ... This museum is close to the MET, but it’s a destination unto itself. Children under 10 years are not allowed because many antiquities are within an arms reach, as you move about the house. Try the restaurant Le Charlot and/or the bakery Laduree for delicious eats and drinks nearby. The attached picture is an example of the gorgeous entryways of townhouses that line 70th St. as you walk to the museum.

I love this place. A new york gem with history to it. Plenty to see here especially when theres different collection in town being displayed here. The structure itself is incredible and takes up 2 whole blocks with a library on the other end. The tour is a must if you have never been to this location. This place has a past when central park was its back yard and all country. Before any other buildings and structures even existed. A wonderful place to visit with friends or family. if you truly enjoy what new york York has to offer. Add this collection to your experience of this city. When the past meets the present. If you enjoyed the review. You know what to do. Thank you in advance for your time.

The Frick is one of my all-time favorite museums in the world. With an audio guide you can see the entire collection in two hours. Henry Frick did an outstanding job of collecting Rembrandt, three Vermeers, van Dyck, El Greco (St. Jerome), Bellinis St. Francis, Holbeins Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell, and many more. The sculptures, furniture and china are also noteworthy. A must-see place if you are visiting NYC.

Visited in a weekend with friends. This is a really beautiful Gilded Age mansion filled with an extensive collection of paintings, sculptures and furniture from multiple periods. A bit expensive at $25 per ticket, but a good way to spend an hour or two. The atrium, with plants, a fountain and a skylight is especially peaceful. Its right across from Central Park, so this would definitely be a great idea for a date.

This place is a delight for the design of the building and the feel of the place. You are walking in a real home not just a museum. The collections are thought out and the taste of art is precise.The layout of the home is easy to navigate.Be sure to pick up a device at the front entry before you begin walking around. In each room there is a main display number and if you press that number into your devise you hear stories of the room and the home. There are extra ones on the art and furniture in the rooms as well. This device is so worth it. I have been in so many other museums where the device is terrible but here it is fantastic! It enhances the experience.I highly recommend this out of the way experience and a peek into the lifestyle of American Industrial Revolution.My only wish was to see the upstairs bedrooms like you can do in Rhode Island Breakers. But the first floor was a delight.The fact the original furniture, window coverings, rugs and decorations are still all there made this place so much fun to visit.Note:No photos are allowed inside.Children under 10 not admitted. That being said children under 10 could find this place boring. It is very proper and somewhat formal in the late 1800s special way.It is a delight to anyone who loves architecture, fine classical art and portraits, interior design, Downtown Abbey era.

A fabulous collection with free audio. $22 entry per adult. Good multiple short talks available from knowledgeable staff. The only thing I was disappointed by is that apart from the interior garden you are not allowed to take photographs. The Collection is not overwhelming like it is at the MIT but there is still plenty to look at for a good two to three hours in this place including some absolutely marvellous works by Rembrandt, Turner, De Goya and so many others famous ones also Vermeer.

Stumbled across this museum on a Wednesday afternoon while making a random exit from Central Park. And to my luck, Wednesday’s 2-6 PM are pay what you wish! Since I hadn’t heard of this place before, I would probably have not paid 22$ standard ticket. I was in NYC for just 4 days and this being the last day, I had to tick an art museum off my list. It’s a private collection of Henry Clay Frick in his house now converted in a museum. The free audio guide is very helpful and the collection is a good mix to keep you intrigued. You’re not allowed to click photos inside, except a small garden area. They also run a small movie to give the history etc. of the place. Visit if you’re in the area, 2-3 hours could be enough if you go slow and spend time on each piece.

This place is a jewel at 5th Av. It makes you feel like visiting a fancy mansion full of artworks. They also offer paper and many options of pencils so you can explore your own artistic skills.Forget about the rude security looking to you like angry dogs. They are there every time taking care, but all the staff is very nice and gentile to make you feel relaxed and enjoy the visit as most as you can.I strongly recommend a visit, not only because the nice collection comprising names like Renoir and Rembrandt but also because of the amazing environment they prepare to the visitors

For this best kept secret Museum in New York City, the fewer words the better. One of the most impressive and stunning art collections in the world, including three vermeers, and my favorite Turner painting of all time, Antwerp. Another best kept secret, it is free to the public after 1 p.m. on Sundays. Which can get a little crowded, but at least everyone is welcome to see one of the most stunning or collections in the world. Do not visit New York City and miss this Museum.

Review №42

The Frick was a nice, if relatively small collection of art that occupies a Park fronted mansion. It feels very much like it has maintained its founders vision, which has some benefits and some flaws. It does feel like youre exploring a very particular place, with the central garden and water feature being particularly stunning. However, the narrow entry makes entry take some time and the downstairs galleries are quite utilitarian. Hopefully the upcoming renovation will address some of these issues and go over well!

The collection is carefully presented in a beautiful and tranquil setting. It feels like stepping out of time for an hour or two. There are lots of spectacular paintings by Old Masters, some of which you might not expect to see here (Holbein’s portrait of Thomas More, for example). Adult admission is $22, which is about the market rate for the major collections in the US.

Loved this museum! Not just for the art but how they incorporate the life of the Fricks into the displays (by listening to the audio tour). Since the building and collection went straight from the Frick family to the city as a museum, all is perfectly intact and original. What a wonderful surprise this museum is!!

Fantastic art experience. Great collection, included audio guide. The history of Frick, how he came to build his mansion with the thought that it would become a museum, and that most of the art was collected by him to display in his home before he died in 1919 I found fascinating.

More employees than visitors. Great place to actually look at some great artwork in peace (dont quote me on this during the pay-what-you-wish time).With that said, not a fan of places that dont let you take photos. Its not a flash thing. Flash is easy to make people shut off and poses negligible damage. Its not a viewer experience thing either because theres barely anyone there. The only reason is to keep a giftshop monopoly. Whatever, thats the world we live in.Either way, good collection.

Somewhat small but fine collection in a former household. Being fans of Wolf Hall, enjoyed the Hand Holbein portraits of rivals Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell in one of the rooms. Three Vermeers also grace the collection, including Girl with a Pearl Earring, several Rembrandts, and other Dutch masters, and other artworks, though nothing contemporary. Not anywhere near as overwhelming as the Met, you can do it all in a couple of hours, time well spent.

The Frick Collection is an art museum located in the Henry Clay Frick House on the Upper East Side in Manhattan, New York City at 1 East 70th Street, located at the northeast corner with Fifth Avenue. It houses the collection of industrialist Henry Clay Frick (1849–1919).Henry Frick started his substantial art collection as soon as he started amassing his fortunes. A considerable amount of his art collection is located in his former residence Clayton in Pittsburgh, which is today a part of the Frick Art & Historical Center. Another part was given by his daughter and heiress Helen to the Frick Fine Arts Building, which is on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh.The family did not permanently move from Pittsburgh to New York until 1905. Henry Frick initially leased the Vanderbilt house at 640 Fifth Avenue, to which he moved a substantial amount of his collection. He had his permanent residence built between 1912 and 1914 by Thomas Hastings of Carrère and Hastings. He stayed in the house until his death in 1919. He willed the house and all of its contents, including art, furniture, and decorative objects, as a public museum. His widow Adelaide Howard Childs Frick, however, retained the right of residence and continued living in the mansion with her daughter Helen. After Adelaide Frick died in 1931, the conversion of the house into a public museum started.John Russell Pope altered and enlarged the building in the early 1930s to adapt it to use as a public institution. It opened to the public on December 16, 1935. Various additions to the architecture and landscape architecture of the museum site have been considered over the years including the placement of a prominent magnolia garden from the 1930s. As stated by the museum announcements: As a result of a decision of the Board of Trustees in 1939, three magnolias were selected for the Fifth Avenue garden. The two trees on the lower tier are Saucer Magnolias (Magnolia soulangeana) and the species on the upper tier by the flagpole is a Star Magnolia (Magnolia stellata).Further expansions of the museum took place in 1977 and in 2011. In 2014, the museum announced further expansion plans, but came up against community opposition because it would result in the loss of a garden. The Frick ultimately dropped those plans and is said to be considering other options.

Pretentious museum with incredibly rude staff. Witnessed a woman in a wheelchair get rolled out (!!!) of the auditorium towards the back for reasons unclear. To see such a level of disrespect towards the disabled.... simply appalling?Moreover, no photographs are permitted to be taken in the building save for the inner square and you will be periodically reminded of this even if you so much as take your phone out to look at the time. Everybody is on edge, and, by extension you.All of these things I mentioned have unfortunately overshadowed the fact that the architecture as well as some of the art here *might* worth seeing. Do yourself a favour and come here when its free. Otherwise dont bother.
