The Frick Collection

The Frick Museum is located in the Frick Mansion in New York City, designed by architects Carrere and Hastings – the same two architects that designed the New York Public Library. The Frick mansion was originally built to outdo the Carnegie mansion, and it features a beautiful inner courtyard to relax and soak up the surrounding art collection. After the death of Mr. Frick at the beginning of the 1900’s the mansion was converted to an art museum. The museum takes up a whole city block and features prominent statues in the entranceway, painted frescos inside resembling those found in a Renaissance castle, 16th century antique furniture, rich wooden walls and floors, marble fireplaces and other luxurious furnishings of the time. Your visit to the Frick Museum should take 2 to 3 hours and you can indulge yourself in a guided audio tour.

The artwork and exhibitions consists mostly of 16th to 18th century European art. Children may not be as interested as adults in this particular museum. You’ll find beautiful furniture, porcelain, enamels, oriental rugs, paintings and much more. For detailed information on current and future exhibitions, hours and tours please visit the Frick Collection official website at http://www.frick.org/
