The Frick Collection

This museum was pretty awesome. I think it’s really neat how it’s set in Henry Frick’s home, which happens to be one of the last gilded age homes remaining in NYC. The architecture of the place is incredible, featuring lots of intricate details. As far as the art collection goes, it’s definitely worth seeing. There are a lot of relevant religious paintings, as well as a few amazing landscape paintings. They also have the Rembrandt, which I believe was the first self-portrait (correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not an art expert). The staff does a good job of keeping everyone safe, and moving around without issue. Overall, a great place for a date night, or some alone time for deep thought (and anything in between!). I should have gotten a picture from outside the building, because it’s a really neat house.

Visited in a weekend with friends. This is a really beautiful Gilded Age mansion filled with an extensive collection of paintings, sculptures and furniture from multiple periods. A bit expensive at $25 per ticket, but a good way to spend an hour or two. The atrium, with plants, a fountain and a skylight is especially peaceful. It's right across from Central Park, so this would definitely be a great idea for a date.

Wonderful! BUT! Huge problem that the story of the Frick family in the Frick Museum/former home was presented NOWHERE. Here we are in the triumphant final home of Henry Frick and we don’t know who he is, how he rose to such financial and lofty positions, who his wife was, his children.... um you’re missing the other half of the story. We get a full dissertation on the nuances of the painting of a Renoir hand but not two words about the man who and how he accumulated this fine body of work. Partial pleasure.

This place is incredibly large. It's hard to imagine that Frick Family actually live the way. They are in the process of opening up the second floor so you might have a better idea of how they lived. The artwork in The Frick museum is beyond amazing. Art pieces in the museum that cost over a million dollars in 1917. It definitely is a must see. If you're a little short on money, Wednesdays from 2 to 4 p.m. is pay-what-you-wish.

I enjoyed the visit. It's mostly French art and French tourists love to visit and I went with a friend from Paris. I recommend this museum if that's your interest or if you are looking for a place you haven't visited before but I would visit one of the larger museums if I had a choice. They provide at request audio devices for free which I liked. It's a nice walk inside this former mansion. They have a few couches that you are permitted to sit on which gives you the feeling of how it might have actually felt like when it was a house and not a museum. You are only allowed to visit the first floor. No pictures allowed expect for the court yard. We went early on a Saturday and the crowd wasn't too bad but it was raining and by the time we left there was a line to get inside.
