the admission price is worth it just to see the architecture - rooms set up as if house is occupied - collection of art is over the top and arranged in a lovely fashion. Loved, loved the Whistlers

Small, intimate, with a fabulous permanent collection and ever changing special exhibitions. Don't miss it. New Yorkers should go a couple of times a year and out of towners should go whenever they're in the city. You can do the whole thing in a couple of hours (or less) and not end up with museum fatigue.

This is the former home of the industrialist Frick and his family. The setting is across the street from Central Park and this is a lovely small museum. On Sundays from 11-1 you pay what you wish. There is also a film bio about Frick which is worthwhile.

Very beautiful and elegant interiors with some outstanding artworks. A blissful retreat from the hubbub of the city.

Escape the crowds heading for the mega galleries and enjoy the quiet ambience - and extraordinary collection - of the Frick. Perhaps this the one place in the City that gets that big isn't always best, the Frick is about the right pieces, hung the right way in a scale that is human, yet heavenly. The building itself is a... More

I visited this museum for the second time. Beautiful building and collection. This time I enjoyed the Renoir exhibition. It is worth going on Sunday between 11 and 1 (pay what you want). The queue was long but it did not take more than 20 min. to get in

If New York is the Crown when it comes to museums, than the Frick Collection is the often overlooked jewel in the collection. The mansion itself, once home to collector Frick, is beautiful in and of itself, but the paintings inside testify to a man with an eye for art. There are two magnificent portraits by Titan, a superb Velazquez,... More

A real oasis and great experience, mainly because it's a very personal collection. An astonishing collection of big-hitters on display - although a bit chocolate box at times - and the size of it (not too big or too small) makes it perfect for an end-of-afternoon experience.
