The Frick Collection

There was classical music concert at the museum before they closed for renovation. Beautiful space and worth the visit!

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.

This a very intimate art museum and reminds be of the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia. Very manageable and a great museum to spend 3 or 4 hours.

Important to know that the Frick is in a new location until the original building is completed. The temporary location is at the former location of the Whitney museum at 75th and Madison Ave. Verywell laid out on several floors.

The collections include beautiful ceramics and sculptures. And art work by Van Dyck, Turner, Boucher, Goya, Rembrandt and many others.

The best gallery, for me, held the three Vermeer paintings which just returned from an exhibition at Rijksmuseum In Amsterdam. My interest in Vermeer increased after seeing the documentary “Close to Vermeer” in May about this temporary exhibit in Amsterdam.

I highly recommend spending a few hours in this wonderful museum.

See beautiful priceless Masterpieces from Holbein, Van Dyck, Manet, Greco, Renoir, Velazquez, Rembrandt, Turner and I could go on and on. The Frick at 70th and Madison is still closed as of Sept, 25 2021 for renovations. The Masterpieces are being shown at a temporary place on 945 Madison and 79th Streets. Its nice and spacious inside, its 3 stories of art, sculpture, and beautiful vases and urns. The Frick is wheelchair accessible and no photography is permitted. The staff was very helpful and nice. I can' t wait to go back. If your not already a member the cost is $22 for an adult ticket.

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.

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.

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 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!!

Beautiful hidden gem, a must-go if you like "old master" paintings and artifacts.

You won't be able to take pictures in most of the exhibition rooms while photography in the fontaine court is allowed.

I don't think you can find another museum which has as many Italian classic art masterpieces as as Frick Collection except Met probably.

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

A unique place for art lovers. A beautiful collection of arts in a very modest location. Have to visit in person since photographing is not allowed inside the gallery.

Despite what this google posting says, the Frick IS open Thurs through Sunday, nearby at a temporary location at 75th and Madison (during a renovation). It's a really interesting opportunity to see the works in a different context and this "Frick Madison" presentation has received rave reviews in the media. It's also very scerene and intimate feeling.

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), Bellini's St. Francis, Holbein's 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.

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.

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.
Don't miss La Promenade from Pierre-Auguste Renoir, hidden besides the grand staircase.
Mandatory cloakroom services.

Very cool museum, former mansion of Henry Frick with a large collection of art pieces from Europe in particular.

Pay as you wish on Wednesdays 2-6pm.
No pictures allowed, only in the garden!

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

incredibly intimate environment set in the once home of Henry Frick. Specializes in works by Rembrandt, Gainsborough and other Old Masters in room settings complete with period furniture. No photos allowed.

This collection is incredible. It's hard to imagine what it looked like originally with the incredible architecture, but it has such neat architecture.

The Frick is "pay what you want" on Wednesdays after 2:00 PM.

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!
