The Frick Collection

Amerikan titanlarından birinin malikenesini topladığı resim kolleksiyonunu sergilediği müzeye dönen örneklerin başında gelen bir müze. Oldukça başarılı ve görülmeye değer bir NY müzesi.

Çok kaliteli görülmesi gereken bir mekan

Özel koleksiyonda müzeye. İlham verici bir müze ve muhteşem bir koleksiyon.

An incredibly beautiful building, I couldn’t stop admiring the corridors and staircases. Every detail feels thoughtful and inspiring. The organ is absolutely stunning, and the way the galleries are designed to complement the paintings creates such a powerful atmosphere. Everything feels perfectly curated to enhance the art. I also loved the bracelet system and the audio guide on the phone such a smart and modern touch that makes the whole experience even more immersive. Truly an unforgettable museum experience. Highly recommend!

The Frick Collection is located in an 18th-century, New York mansion that once belonged to steel tycoon Henry Clay Frick. This was his home when he was alive. Mr. Frick knew that he wanted his art collection to be seen by the public, so he built a home with that in mind. The building is just stunning and it is near Central Park. It is truly a most elegant and intimate museum you will even go into. Mr. Frick was the consummate collector of works from the Renaissance to the end of the 19th century. We were impressed with not only the art by Degas, Turner, Vermeer, Rembrandt and more old masters, but the number of sculptures, ceramics and decorative arts. The collection is housed in a series of small rooms. As you walk from room to room, you will be awe struck by the beauty. The inner courtyard is such a peaceful place to sit. This is a gallery we visited in 2020 and wanted to return to see the latest renovations which were completed in 2025. They evidently spent 220 million dollars and 5 years to complete these renovations. We were thrilled that we could again use our membership at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore to gain free admission to this gallery. The renovations included a new, state of the art, 220-seat auditorium. They added 27,000 square feet of new construction; 30 percent more gallery space for permanent collection display and exhibitions; added its first-ever onsite cafe; and created a new double-height reception hall. Visitors can now walk up the grand staircase to the second floor. They have also installed new public elevators where 10 rooms and five additional passages of the original residence are beautifully renovated and stocked with masterpieces for all to view. We were disappointed that they did not bother to spend any of the renovation money to place a brief description of each piece of art next to it. They relied on everyone carrying a smart phone which I do not have.

The Frick Collection is one of those New York spots that you should visit at least once. Pro tip: book your ticket in advance. They will likely still let you in without one, but you may end up waiting in line for 45 to 60 minutes, and when you’re traveling, that’s time better spent exploring the city. Everything here feels worth seeing, from the interiors and architecture to the natural light and the art collection itself. The whole experience feels elegant, peaceful, and beautifully curated. Give yourself at least an hour to explore it properly. There is a lot to take in, and this is definitely not a place you want to rush through.

We went just as it opened at 10:30am on a Saturday and there was already a line but we got in within 10 minutes. It’s a stunning property filled with beautiful art from paintings to ceramics and sculptures. The architecture was really impressive and loved that there was an outdoor part with greenery too.

I love this collection! It’s not as large as some of the other art spots in the city, but it is pretty impressive. Today was Wednesday and I didn’t know, but they have a pay-what-you-wish on Wednesdays from 1:30-5:30. The line wasn’t too long, but they had a standby line by 1:20. I waited a few minutes and then was admitted. They have a nice little cafe upstairs and an indoor garden court with a few benches to relax.
