Visited again after a gap of 12 years & enjoyed it even more. This collection is phenomenal but relatively compact & easy to visit with (or indeed without) the audio tour. Frick's home is chock full of wonderful stuff, world famous paintings, sculptures, bronzes, clocks & furniture & the house is not bad either, a modest mansion beside Central Park.... More

Smallish museum , but it could take a few hours to admire all the wonderful piences here. Definetly a visit to New York will be incomplete if you miss the Frick.

An amazing collection of mostly European masterpieces amassed by the industrial tycoon Henry Clay Frick on view in his mansion built in the early twentieth century on the upper East Side of NYC. Anyone would be astounded by this embarrassment of riches: Vermeer (three!!), Rembrandt (his self-portrait can hold you spellbound), van Dyck, Bellini, Turner, Gainsborough (check out Mall in...

What I loved most about this beautiful collection of art is that it is housed in a real house (mansion is a better word, I suppose) where the artwork is displayed in rooms where people actually lived. Each room is thoughtfully laid out to enhance the art, with furniture and surroundings to complement, and give the visitor more of an... More

Whatever you do, don't miss the Frick. I've been here twice, it is simply unforgettable. Stately old mansion, stunning collection, great value. I'd come back every time just to see one work - the Holbein portrait of Sir Thomas More - let alone the other magnificent treasures here. It also has a terrific gift shop. Quite simply, the Frick is... More

This collection is sufficiently diverse to make you want to visit again and again, Treasures are there for the finding, calm relaxed approach and a lock of fuss characterize each succeeding visit.

Unlike many other museums the Frick Collection is not enormous and you can see the lovely building and great art exhibition within 2 hours, and at a cost of $18 per person. It is quality over quantity - The museum is a lovely combination of grand home and great artistic taste. Pick up a free audio guide to ensure you... More
