Having just trashed the Morgan Library, I shall shower praise upon what I believe to be one of the world's two best small museums (the other is the Wallace Collection in London). Though far smaller than the Met, the Frick boasts a far higher average quality of painting. Nearly everything in it is a masterpiece or a near miss. Better... more

Collection was reasonably small but had some excellent works (in my humble and untrained opinion) with the surrounds positively adding to the experience. more

The Frick Collection might not be your usual awe-inspiring, dazzling collection of art with huge rooms full of paintings. Rather, it's the collection of a private man who bought art and decided that after his death his house should be a museum, so already when he built the place he had a museum in mind. I liked the way the... more

I felt that the price of $18.00 for admission was totally wasted as the collection was very limited and not worth the visit. Visit the Metropolitan where you are welcome more

This beautifully preserved mansion is an attraction in itself and the collection is outstanding. I do not recommend this museum for children. more

My dad, husband and I made a trip to NYC this past Memorial Weekend. My dad is almost 70 and has some trouble walking around, so I wanted to take him to a smaller museum where he could enjoy the art without feeling too overwhelmed. We went to the Frick Museum on Sunday morning and really, really enjoyed the experience.... more

I love art, and I love big museums. The Frick Collection was one of my first experiences with the joy of a little museum. The combined experience of viewing these masterpieces and touring the period home makes for a great few hours. Where else can you see a Vermeer in someone's hallway or a Hans Holbein over someone's mantle? I... more

If you only want to go to one museum/art gallery, this is the one! Feels like you're in Versaille. Absolutely beautiful building, a welcome contrast to the modern and sometimes ugly architecture of NYC. A breath of fresh air. The collection is very personal and so emotive. The free audio in English is a must and i would have paid... more

We were recommeded this museum because it gives you alook at the grand homes of old New York. We were so impressed with the building and beauty but were also thrilled by the quality collection to be found within its impressive walls. more

This is a gem of a museum. The colllection here is fabulous and although the museum is small, there is a lot to see and it is all without exception of the best quality. The added bonus here is the setting, the collection is housed in the Mansion owned by the collections owner and hung beautifully in graceful rooms. If... more
