The Frick Collection

I wasn’t particularly impressed by the art or the courtyard, though that’s largely a matter of personal taste. However, I was impressed by the current exhibit, “To the Holy Sepulcher: Treasures from the Terra Sancta Museum.” We had lattes at the Westmoreland cafe upstairs and really enjoyed them. The gift shop was smaller than expected, and I wasn’t especially impressed by the trinkets offered. Overall, I feel that the Met Cloisters and the Morgan Library offer a similar atmosphere but feature more compelling and engaging collections.

Very beautiful place. It felt like walking through an ornate, ostentatious mansion. I loved all of the paintings, especially the ones exhibit with the “Four Seasons” mural. I think the decorations and the atmosphere is stunning. Each room was gorgeously decorated and all of the rooms flowed together, giving you the feeling of walking through an aristocratic mansion. My only complaints were: 1. There can be a wait time to get in and for tickets because you have to wait in a line. They only let a certain number of people in at a time. Be prepared for that potentially. 2. The names of the paintings and artists were very hard to read. There wasn’t more information on any of the art or artists. Everything was gorgeous to look at, but I really would have wished to learn more about the art itself. It felt less meaningful to simply stare are beautiful pieces and objects without more context or further understanding of the works themselves. I asked one of the guards if they had any more information to read, and they simply referred me to check the site, which didn’t feel helpful at all. If you just want to walk around and enjoy the views, this is the place. But if you want to learn more, I’d suggest the MoMa or MET, which have plaques and readable titles on their artwork. 3. You cannot take any pictures, and the guards will come up to you to tell you not to take photos if you try. This rule is quite strongly enforced— though you can try and risk getting “yelled at”.

Absolutely loved our visit to the Frick. The renovation completed after five years is impressive. Even more so is the art collection. The Turners were my favorite but everything was great and the building itself is a piece of art. You must visit and check it out. It’s like stepping into the guilded age of New York and well worth your time.

Visiting The Frick Collection was a deeply moving experience. For someone like me who loves symbolic and classical art, it felt truly special almost like stepping into another era. Seeing masterpieces by artists like Manet up close was unforgettable. At The Frick Collection, you’re not just looking at art you’re tracing the evolution of human expression. Through shadow, symbolism, and technique, you can watch art’s journey from deeply narrative and moral to what it has become today. While I appreciate all forms of art, I’m personally drawn to symbolism and realism more than modern abstraction. I’m fascinated by the hidden meanings behind each brushstroke, the intention beneath the surface. For me, art is not just to be seen it’s to be understood, like a mystery waiting to be solved.

A lovely museum in a gorgeous mansion. This was my first visit and I anticipate returning as my time was limited. I am glad I had the chance to see the ceramic flowers displayed throughout the museum! I wish that was to be a permanent exhibit. Definitely purchase your tickets in advance for the timed entry. From what I could tell, you truly do need to arrive within the 1/2 hour on your ticket - there was a standby line waiting for availability. Sadly the museum does not allow any photography inside the galleries. They are also understandably restrictive about bags and jackets but offer a free coat check.
